Great stay at Dharma Beach hotel. Hotel was right on the very clean beach, with nice walks along the beach to the cliffs and south to other towns, lots of water activity options there and a short walk to the many restaurants and bars in town

Looks good outside, but not cosy inside at all. The breakfast was “included”, but we ended up paying for that. Was a lot of confusion about it. Problems with water running, with hot water. Wasn’t pleasurable experience at all. Staff wasn’t qualified to address all the issues.

While on our trip to visit family & friends--Tito recommended staying here! I'm so happy he did. The services are great and it's very apparent they're seeking to cater to global travelers vs. ONLY local guests. I'm writing this on my laptop where my pictures haven't been loaded yet or I'd share them. Suffice it to say I'm picky--EXTREMELY picky. Hotel Dharma did NOT disappoint. My favorite parts: 1) Proximity to beach 2) Cleanliness 3) A/C--many places do not have it 4) Beautiful domes 5) Cafe/restaurant--bread is DIVINE 6) English speaking employee's 7) MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE IS RONNY--he is the pure example of joy & love. He is so sweet & accommodating. If I could pack him up and take him with me I would. Such a happy soul & it comes through in his actions. THANK YOU Ronny! Off for my next adventure. You can not go wrong with Dharma!! *my key card kept getting deactivated so I had to go to counter every night but they were all very accommodating and nice.

I arrived at the Dharma Beach Hotel to find that the room I had booked was not available. The manager told me he had advised hotels.com to cancel the booking, but they had not done this, so I received no communication that there were any issues with my reservation. On this particular night (new years eve) the hotel was totally booked out, as was every other hotel in Montanita. The manager was apologetic about the situation, and organized me to stay in a room not normally used for guests at a nearby hotel (which unfortunately not nearly as good as what I had booked at Dharma). He also gave my friends and I a free dinner. It seems that hotels.com was at fault, and the manager did what he could to resolve the situation.

Stayed Saturday until Wednesday. The only time there was a problem with noise was Saturday night - but that is to be expected since the town and beach are one big party on Saturdays. Otherwise, it was as expected, a comfortable, clean hotel on the beach with a nice restaurant, good food and drinks. The water in the pool was clean and it felt heated.

Todo es increíble. Para mi es el mejor hotel de Montañita. Lo que más me gusta son las fiestas en lost. Lo único que no me parece es que en el precio no están incluidas las entradas a la fiesta para lost. Eso es lo único malo. Si las entradas estuvieran incluidas en el precio de la habitación fuera excelente!!!

Cunado llegamos pasado el mediodía no valía el ascensor y tuvimos que subir los 4 pisos por las escaleras. El olor en el baño era desagradable. No pudimos determinar si el hedor venía de afuera o era alguna tubería interior del baño la dañada. El desayuno correcto y el personal al ingreso y a la salida amables y eficientes. Una pena lo del baño ya que en general las instalaciones están en bueno estado y las habitaciones también.
