"We had a wonderful stay at Aqua Resort. The view is absolutely beautiful, our room was very clean, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming as well. The food was delicious, and we really enjoyed our time there. The only downside was that when we returned to our villa at night, there were no lights outside the room, and the pool lights were also off. It made it difficult to walk around safely after dark. Other than that, we had a great experience and would recommend this resort."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in El Gigante?
The best area to stay in El Gigante is along the main beach road, which runs parallel to the ocean.

This area is the heart of El Gigante, offering direct access to the beach and most of the village's amenities. You'll find a selection of accommodations, from boutique hotels to guesthouses, all within a short walk of the sand. The road itself is unpaved, giving it a relaxed, rustic feel, and it's where you'll find the local eateries and surf shops.

For those looking for a laid-back surfing holiday, staying right on the main beach road is ideal. You're just steps from the waves at Playa Gigante and can easily access boat trips to nearby surf breaks. The convenience of having everything within walking distance means more time spent enjoying the ocean.

Couples often appreciate the relaxed pace and beautiful sunsets from accommodations along this stretch. It's superb for enjoying quiet evenings, beach walks, and simple, fresh seafood dinners.
When is the best time to go to El Gigante?
The best time to visit El Gigante is during the dry season, which runs from December to April, offering reliably sunny days great for outdoor activities.

During these months, you'll experience clear skies, calm waters ideal for surfing and snorkelling, and comfortable temperatures. It's the prime time for enjoying the beach, boat trips, and exploring the surrounding nature without the interruption of heavy rain.

For those looking for a peaceful escape, January and February are particularly good. The holiday crowds have dispersed, but the weather remains excellent, allowing for a more serene experience of the village and its natural beauty. You can enjoy long walks on the beach, quiet meals at local eateries, and a generally relaxed pace.

Travellers keen on surfing will find consistent waves throughout the dry season, with offshore winds often creating ideal conditions.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in El Gigante.
How much is the nightly rate at a El Gigante hotel?
Prices for hotels in El Gigante often vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $73 on Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
