Hotel Casa Bocana

The noise from the chicken coop was so loud I was unable to sleep. The rooster started crowing at 3 am. didand didn't

This hotel is so impeccably designed and the restaurant is 5-star. We loved our room, to the point I was taking pictures to incorporate design elements at home. Bocana Beach is very quiet, but a gorgeous place for a long walk. The hotel restaurant is so good, but there are also a couple of places right on the beach if you want cheap eats or a drink. 2 minutes away is a nice park where you can see some ruins and get a little exercise. We rented a car, so it was easy for us to travel to different beaches and bays, which were beautiful. I highly recommend Organa for something kinda secluded (a 10-minute flat hike out) and La Entrega for families (there are restaurants and seating, plus very very calm water) We come from NYC, so we are used to noise. If you aren't, then the roosters crowing outside the hotel in the early morning may bother you. It didn't bother us. I'm sure if you sleep with the door closed and the A/C on (we slept with screen door open), then it wouldn't be as loud. Just something to be aware of if you are hyper sensitive to noise. There is a lot of development happening in the area near the hotel, but we never heard noise that bothered us. But I am sure in 2 years, there will be a lot more travelers going to this area because of the increase in condos, airbnbs, etc.

Staff was super, restaurant service was great. Location perfect.

Very clean rooms with amazing staff. Loved the atmosphere and ambiance of this small intimate hotel. No worries about finding a chair or cabana around the pool. We stayed for 2 wks. The roosters crowing were a definite detriment to a lovely hotel. The Boncana beach was beautiful with hardly a soul around which we loved. Great little family restaurants at the beach to eat at. Take earplugs for the roosters.

Room (Junior Suite) was very spacious. Nice lighting. Bed very comfortable. Although room description says kitchenette with "cookware" , there is no stovetop or ability to cook except for microwave. Nespresso machine is a nice touch but you are supplied with one pod per day per person. We bought cream at the grocery store but restaurant staff obliged when we ran out 😊 They provide beach towels at the front desk for your excursions. Pool is refreshing! It is a small pool area but we didn't ever have trouble getting a lounger. Nice restaurant. Friendly staff. Neapolitan chicken Milan esa was a favourite! We had a small earthquake which was a surprise. An info sheet in the rooms might be a good idea to inform guests of emergency procedures. Front desk staff very accommodating and provide information about tours/taxis etc. There is a beautiful lounge area on the third floor and you can catch the beautiful sunrise there if you aren't quite ready for the two minutes walk to the beach. The constant noise of roosters crowing from 4 am until dark is really distracting and interrupts sleep. I was told they have earplugs at the front desk if needed. They provide a glass bottle of drinking water in your room daily. If you drink a lot of water, bring a refillable container as there is a potable water tap in the front lobby area. Casa Bocana is a great place if you are looking to be away from the hustle of a downtown. Be aware that you will need to get a taxi for a significant distance.
