I was staying up the street at Los arcos suites and decided to stay a couple nights at this oceanfront hotel San Marino I saw on my hotels.com app they had a suite for about 150 us per night so I walked over and introduced myself at the front desk and they were able to beat the app price. I paid cash and got the best room possible top floor suite 804 overlooking the beach below the room was quite spacious and clean the bed was decent . I read tons of bad reviews and still took a chance and it paid off in spades !!!
So if you can afford it get a suite on the top/8th floor . The staff were gracious and very gringo friendly tip them well. I can’t speak for the food there but
You would be a fool to do a all inclusive package with literally hundreds of restaurants nearby.
