Amazing Breakfasts

The breakfast at Hotel Esperanza was absolutely fantastic! Every morning, it was made to order with plenty of fresh fruit and options tailored to our preferences. It was hands down the best breakfast I've ever had at a hotel.

I had a pleasant stay overall at this hotel. It was conveniently located near Carillo beach, which felt much more peaceful compared to the busier Sámara Beach. My room was clean and spacious, which I appreciated after a long day of exploring. However, I found the breakfast options quite limited, and the dining experience didn't quite meet my expectations. The amenities were decent, but I felt there was room for improvement, especially given the price point.
