Top Buenaventura Hotel Reviews

Ranchos de Chalia

Ranchos de Chalia

8/10 Good
"The hotel is a sleepy bed breakfast located close to the coast next to a tiny village. The property is older it could do a facelift. The single rooms are small, but functional. The air condition worked great. The pool was a big plus .The staff was very helpful and accommodating. My biggest concern was lack of communication when we tried via Expedia to get more information about directions and check-in. However, it worked ok in the end."

"Was alone most of the time, only person running the restaurant was around. Good food. Not really good beach, hard rocks underfoot in water. Town doesn’t have much to say for itself. But if you want tropical quiet then this is the place."
