Hotel Bernabeth

Located at the Northeast end of the villiage of Mompiche, only a 2-3 minute walk to the bustling, yet small center. The hotel is gated and ample parking is available inside the gates. I was greeted by Jose, one of the property managers who was very friendly. Upon checking in, he asked me what I wanted for breakfast the next day and when I wanted it (breakfast was included in my reservation). The next morning I was greeted by Jose and his boss, Freddie, who had breakfast ready for me at the small dining area next to the pool (which was quite nice). I chatted with Freddie and shared my plans to visit Isla Portete and Playa Negra which are about a 45min walk from the hotel. Freddie kindly offered to arrange a moto taxi for me, but ended up driving me in his personal car to the boat launch to Portete! Overall, my stay was very pleasant, mainly due to the friendly, kind, and informative staff at Bernabeth.

The hotel is located in a little town, rather right outside of it. As you get there it’s not exactly a pretty sight. The hotel is a bit old and lacking in maintenance, especially the entrance and parking. The rooms are very well-kept, clean and nice. The pool could have been a little cleaner but it was nice as well. Breakfast was included: very basic, nothing fancy but good. The great thing about this property is that it has direct access to the beach, which was wonderful.

I had the must pleasant time at the hotel. The owner made me feel completely comfortable and help organize parts of my trip outside of the hotel. His kindness and hospitality surpassed all of expectations. This is the best hotel in town.
