Wonderful service and wonderful people
The staff were extremely attentive and helpful. They went out of their way to make our stay special. We left early, and they made sandwiches for us since we would miss breakfast. Beyond that, the town had a loud celebration one night we were there, and the hotel provided us warning and earplugs to help make our stay more comfortable. They really did a fantastic job overall.

Simple hotel near the main street
Posada del Mar is a cosy and simple hotel near the main street. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the hotel had good WiFi in the room. The breakfast can be bought at the reception but is served at another restaurant, 3 min walk from the hotel. Nice also with a balcony. A bit old interior but nothing to complain about. We stayed for one night.

Comfortable bed and good location
Staff were really warm and courteous, I arrived really early and was allowed to store my luggage. The room was spacious and had a balcony which was perfect for relaxing and drying snorkel gear if you got any too.
Breakfast is a voucher for the restaurant next door - Lo Lo which was quite nice (you get a choice of american breakfast or can ask for Bolon). Had it once which was alright - still great value.
The bed was comfortable and staff cleaned it daily.
Also good location near the ferry terminal - 5 mins walk.
