About
On one point Dunama's reviewers all agree: the hilltop view over the nearby beaches is among the best in the area. Guests who enjoyed their stay describe a distinctive building, fair prices, good food at the restaurant, and staff who go out of their way to help. Be clear about what it is, though — a simple, budget-priced spot, and recent reviews are mixed on upkeep and noise. Come for the view, keep expectations modest.

Three cheap hangers in the closet and they refuse to give you more. Three pillows per king size bed and that's all you get. You have to pay extra if you want toast or pouched eggs because you're asking for extravagance or more than your portion. Three locals are staying here and they invited about 10 other locals and their kids whom loudly and completely took over the only pool. Will not stay here again.
Stayed here for 3 nights, the price and value were better than expected. Amazing view, the elevation is just right with views into the nearby beaches. The construction is very unique and appealing. We visited during a change of management and there was missing signs and some remodeling, but overall it was still a great spot.
This hotel has an amazing view, I think one of the best views in the area. Sadly there were more cons than pros for us. We arrive on a Sunday afternoon, there was blasting LOUD music with a big group, the front desk had to yell at us so he could do the check in. He told us the group was there for the day but they couldn't turn the volume down for the check in. We then went to the room, wow it was dirty, no towels, no soap. There wasn't bed night tables or even a chair inside the room. The smell of the room was OFF too. Maintenance of the entire hotel feels like falling to pieces, the pool was always dirty. Breakfast was pretty bad. And the prices for Lunch and Dinner were even more expensive than at the Flamingo Marina. I have managed a hotel for 10 years and everything about this place made me feel so disappointed. Such a great location but poor management. Oh and don't even look for the Casino, it doesn't exist, they closed it down several years back but they still advertise it. I wont ever recommend or come back here.
