Roca Verde

Roca Verde Review

Small and friendly, this is the only hotel with direct beach access in the area, so it's no surprise it's popular with surfers, anglers, and beach-lovers. Sunny, stylish rooms, decorated with swirling flower murals, come with spacious, modern bathrooms and cane-balustraded verandas looking onto a garden and a small pool. There's no TV reception in the rooms, but if you're lucky you'll be here on a night when the little local theater group is performing in the hotel's open-air lobby. The fish-sculpture-festooned lobby is a gallery displaying work by local artists and a gathering place for locals. The hotel arranges surfing lessons and fishing trips. There's live music Friday nights, a mix of classic rock, bluegrass, and jazzy blues.
