While not for everyone, Clarita's is perfect if you want a place with local flavor and comfortable facilities. Great private pool for hotel guests only. Neat bar and very good restaurant.

Yes! On the beach, but a good 20 minute walk from town. Good crowded bar/restaurant. Over priced shabby room with free ganja fumes throughout the night. Bonus: every couple of hours someone would tap on the window with a key? Not sure what that was about, too scared to look! Air con, frig, fan, with curtains that looked like old... More

I returned to find maids had serviced my room and... More

Four of us just finished a week at Claritas and enjoyed our stay. They were very helpful in helping us find a good skipper for 3 days of fishing (Capt. Jorge). The rooms were clean but nothing fancy. Just right for a bunch of old fishermen! The staff was great, cute as they could be and never stopped working serving... More
