I gave it a very good overall because of the location across from the beach. QUiet and peaceful, except for some Cuban American partying one night next to us and young AMerican surfers the next. The restaurant had incredible pastries and breads the first morning then more commonplace thereafter. Good potential there for great Italian. A bit dangerous for young... More

I had a great time! The hotel is clean, the rooms are comfortable and the staff is very friendly! The restaurant is also pretty good, and the best part is that you are only across the street from the beach! I will definitely go back! Marcelo. More

Italian owned bungalow-style hotel. A little older but well maintained. Just across from the sea just over the road. Tropical garden. Nice, big rooms which were always clean! Very friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant is good, owner and staff also very friendly but it promises more on the web-site than in reality. More

Totem location was great, right across from Cocles and had a great view of the ocean from our room deck, could hear the crashing surf all day and night. In the early mornings at breakfast I would walk 5 seconds across the road to stand on the beach with my coffee, beautiful. Food at Totem was pretty good, decent breakfast... More

Me and my family stayed at this hotel for four nights in October, and we really enjoyed it. The rooms were clean, the staff was very nice and helpful and the surroundings were lovely. However - since october is low season my guess is that the hotel did not show up at its best shape. They started to clean up... More

Ideal solution for those looking for courtesy and professionalism. The excellent value for money, perfect location and treat kitchen of the restaurant make it the best solution for those who want to enjoy the relaxation of the beach and nearby attractions. The spacious and clean rooms, even the standard ones, reproduce the furniture in the Caribbean atmosphere typical of the... More
