Don Pancho is in a premium location. The hotel is currently undergoing renovations, and will be very impressive when finished.
It was comfortable, good room sizes and we enjoyed a wonderful beach view. We even spotted a few whales from our balcony!
The staff were all very friendly and attentive. When I visit the area in the future, I would happily stay at Don Pancho again.

The room above us was a nightmare, kids jumping screaming, you can also here them walking above us, this went on up until 12:30 and first up in the morning. The place was old but clean and there were workers upgrading the place and was not advised that there pool was getting a make over, would have loved to know when I booked the property.

*•*•Serenity*•*• Don Pancho By The Beach is simply amazing. Reception and all staff are a beautiful team as well as extremely helpful. Decor throughout was lovely, clean and well maintained. Stunning views of the Ocean whilst lucky enough to spot the Whales from the Hotels balcony. I Most certainly recommend Don Pancho By The Beach.

Booked a poolside apartment but arrived to find I was next to a construction site. Workers and heavy machinery going from 7.30 to 4 working on the pool and their adjacent units. So much for a relaxing holiday. The scaffolding was 2.5m from my “poolside” entrance. No notice or apology offered for my booking
