Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Spacious rooms with a balcony with a great view of the ocean. There was a mini fridge that worked well. The elevator was broken, so we had to take the stairs or wait for staff to operate the elevator. Breakfast was fast and delicious. Shampoo and bar soaps were available in the bathroom. There's a pool on the 3rd floor.”
“It offer great service from its staff. You can get food, if not typical, at least a taste of the local cuisine. It's located in an old building, and have a swimming pool and restaurant. It offers views of the beach from most of their rooms”
“The view is BEAUTIFUL! It’s the perfect location and everyone is so friendly. Truly made my stay a 10/10. The breakfast is yummy as well and I will be coming back and staying at Arimaca in my next visit.”
