Sunset Hotel

When you stay at the Hotel Sunset, you become part of the family, if that's what you want; or you have a personal concierge at the front desk if you need it; or you can be left alone to relax and reflect by the pool, if that's what you want. They even have a well run professional dive school on site, if you suddenly decide you'd like to learn a new hobby at 50 as I did. Over my week there, they offered all that and more. My day started with a choice of 4 great breakfasts. Then if I needed help planning my day staff would help arrange a mule rental, call a cab, or just explain the local bus. When my girlfriend was trapped by a landslide outside Medellin unable to get to her flight, they even helped me book a flight for her. When I mentioned an interest in purchasing local art, they helped me connect with a local artist friend who brought her pieces to the hotel lobby for me to select from. When they saw me sitting alone on Christmas Eve, they invited me into their family party. And even after I'd checked out of the hotel, my new mom was checking in on me to make sure the rest of my trip was going well.

Family run business Bi lingual

We loved the tranquil family run hotel. Frankly, we think it is the best place to be on the island. It is a bus ride away from the craziness of the town center. The food was delicious, the location was very pretty and tranquil, the snorkeling across the street was sweet, pool was refreshing, but most of all was the understanding of tourists needs by the staff and family! We stayed 5 nights and will remember the daily interactions with the family and thoughtfully hand picked staff. Cheers and heaps of thanks to Lindsay, Mama Marley, Gabriel (el guapo) , Usiris and Zoila and all!

Super hotel in the quiet part of the island!

Gabriel and Lindsey who run the property fir the family are lovely people. Everybody who works at Hotel Sunset is warm and caring, from Soyla, who cooks your delicious food every day to our sweet and caring housekeepers. These are just the warmest people. A bit more hot water would be great and a bit more clarity about what is included in a meal or is extra (like after dinner coffee) would be helpful, but these are minor issues. This is a quiet, beautiful spot with a lovely pool and across from excellent scuba and snorkling waters. Also a great scuba school right on site. An excellent choice overall.
