Hotel El Magnifico Review

You will find a healthy dose of unexpected luxury at this stellar, boutique condo-hotel. Coral-stone paths wind you around the exquisite tropical gardens of cacti and orchids at this serene hideaway just a gravel driveway from the dusty, noisy highway into town. The open reception area, backed by an artistic screen, is flanked by a quiet seating area that whispers tranquility. The lush gardens hold a pair each of pools and Jacuzzis. For your accommodations, try to get the newest Building 6, with beach- and water views. Owner Gerhard Hebert is a charming French Canadian, an early surfer who arrived in 1984 and has a following.
