“This property wins for its idyllic location, a quieter spot on Playa Blanca where the ocean is steps away from rustic rooms, most with balconies. The family who runs it are lauded as especially welcoming, so it could be ideal for families. A relaxed, genuine welcome seems to be the true draw here.”
