i was there in January 1999 for 3 days. I have to say that we spent a wonderful time at this hotel. The food was very good and the manager ( i think his name was Paulino) was very, very nice, at the point that he had the courtesy to drive us to Mancora for an important phone call (... More

Their web site descirbes this hotel as a paradise. The photos looks fantastic and we couldn`t wait to have our last week in Peru at this place. Unfortunately we prepaid for the whole week in advance and I must say we did regret a bit when we arrived. It is a nice hotel and out standard room had a great... More

I am an independent, avid traveller. I spent two months travelling to various habitats for birdwatching in Peru. Included in this was two weeks of "roughing it" in the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve as a research assistant , a stay at Muyuna Jungle Lodge in the northern Amazon Basin - very good, an excellent birding tour down the Manu cloud forest...

If the photos on the website were anywhere near the truth, then this place would be paradise at the price. Sadly, the reality is far different. This hotel is fraying at the edges. Most of the staff are lacklustre and more interested in playing table football in the dilapidated games room than they are in serving their customers. The food... More

I stayed here with a friend for a week after two weeks of trekking and sightseeing in Peru. It is a bit of a journey to get there, but was the perfect way to end our vacation! Punta Sal is 20 mins north of Mancora - it is quieter and more relaxed which is what we wanted. We pretty much... More

El Caballito del Mar Beach Resort, Punta Sal, Review We are here in the off season- October 2-4, 2008. We have the luxury bungalow with porch and 14 inch tv (never have turned it on.)

The rooms are cheap, but everything else is expensive. $20 a day per person (no single supplement makes this a great deal for solo travelers). This includes the room, tax and breakfast. For an extra $15 per day, you also get lunch and dinner. That's way too much for the quality and quantity of food you get, so you may... More
