We were staying a few blocks away and the room was very noisy. We walked by Hotel Tulipanes and liked the quiet open entry with cool white marble tile. We stepped in to enquire about a room and they offered to show us one. We walked up the circular stairway to a lovely wide hallway open to the air with elegant wood doors to each room. For $5 US more per day than we had been paying we got a quiet room with nice natural light. They also showed us the swimming pool, another upgrade. There are so many nice touches here. It's just a few blocks from the beach and in an interesting part of town where expats, tourists and locals mix. It's very simple but very nice. We extended our stay and were happy to be here. read more
