Staff was absolutely great. Had a poolside room and an absolute blast celebrating New Year’s Eve. We hiked down the private beach several times. It’s beautiful and quiet. Playa Flamingo is only a 10 min walk as well. It’s a popular spot worth checking out. Definitely need to eat at Coco Loco.

I would give more stars but something you need to know: - The personals are very kind and the location it’s perfect with easy access to the beach - but the resort seems old and looks like doesn’t have enough budget to be maintained to the original looks - the amenities and rooms supplies should be upgraded/replaced

What other reviews said is true. Pool has mold all over wall and corners. The hot tub is even worst. Room towels stained, spring box of the bed with blood stain. Shower did not work 3 drops of water, . It is true. Wifi work well for me during my stay.

We arrived at night and it was a little confusing to find the hotel. There are no signs pointing to the hotel and it’s hidden from the road. I love that security was always at the gate and was very vigilant. We went late September and it was nice having most of the hotel to ourselves. Service was great!! The wait staff was too notch. Very accommodating and attentive. They were a good time. The pool was nice. Lounge chairs and full service. The swim up bar could use some TLC but still got the job done. There is an amazing gazebo over look the ocean and beaches. Breath taking views from the restaurant, balcony, and pool. The food was delicious. Cooked to order breakfast. I also had a shrimp cocktail that was to die for. Drinks were amazing as well. Fresh frozen fruit was used in my pina colodas and strawberry daiquiris. Yuuummm. My husband and I got a couples massage and loved it. The tables were close to the ocean so the waves crashing added a nice touch. Very clean. The mopped our room everyday and it always smelled and looked great after room service. My only negative comments would be the bed was very stiff and the shower wasn’t great.

We only stayed one night at the Dunama, but would definitely return. The setting is absolutely breathtaking!! The staff was amazing, specially the bartender Dillon. Only complaint is the cleanliness. Certain areas need a good deep clean and new linens/towels.

The room smelled a little damp. The bathroom was slimy. The pool was moldy. The breakfast was a very small portion, but it tasted good. My family and I were informed by the staff that it was only one drink per person and no refill… My room didn't have a hairdryer. The facilities were very nice with mageatic view. The hotel very well located, and had a very nice and private beach access. The grass could have been better maintained.

Please do NOT stay at this place, does not look like the photos at all. Pillows were yellow, the first room was so dirty, they moved us to a different one that smelled like bleach but was in terrible conditions as well. 🚩 signs all over the property “no refunds” Also Expedia was not helpful at all.
