Parador El Guajataca

Frommer's Review

You'll find this place on a rolling hillside reaching down to a surf-beaten beach along the north coast. Stay here for the stunning natural setting and don't expect too much, because the hotel itself is somewhat seedy. Each room is rather standard and has its own entrance and private balcony opening onto the turbulent Atlantic. Bathrooms are slightly battered but functional, each with a tub.

Served in a glassed-in dining room where all the windows face the sea, the cuisine isn't much more memorable than the accommodations, with little care going into the preparation of the often-canned ingredients. A local musical group plays for dining and dancing on Friday and Saturday evenings. There are two swimming pools (one for adults, another for children), plus a playground for children.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; 2 pools; limited room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; coin-op laundry
