Hotel Chiniu

Great place, very large garden, 2 pools, lots of amenities, quiet. If you look for a place with more chances to socialise and a better restaurant, this is not it: you should book a hotel or a hostel further west. But if u look for a quiet place with plenty of room to relax Chiniuu is great. We had a with a pool right in front of the door, and a large porch with a table to sit and chill or work remotely. Wifi and Restaurant are meh, the rest, considering that it is a 3 Stars, is great

Really enjoyed our 5 day stay. The grounds are beautiful, clean rooms and the staff are wonderful. Will definitely go again

Kind of dirty There was hair from a previous guest in the bathroom.

Hotel Chiniu was the perfect place for our April family vacation. The hotel is located right at the beach and is a magical place to watch the sunrise, swim during the day, and is safe to walk even at night. We had a room with air conditioning that slept four people, there was one queen-sized bed and two twin beds. The sleeping quarters were separated from the bathroom and shower area which was not air-conditioned but was perfect for drying bathing suits and towels at night. We had wifi in the room but the wifi near the bar/restaurant area was very fast in comparison. Each morning we enjoyed an included breakfast of which the menu slightly changed each day but included fresh juice, coffee or hot chocolate, a fresh fruit plate as well as eggs and arepas. The hotel staff were very friendly to us and accommodated our needs during lunch times, dinners, sweet breaks in the afternoon and cocktails at night. We also arranged a tour through the hotel to visit the Rio Palomino. The tour company was on time and very professional and our local guide was very knowledgeable about the river. One caveat is we should have brought more sunblock or sun clothing for the long beautiful float down the river. On our last day the sunrise was breathtaking and we were able to get a view of the La Sierra Nevada, and Pico Colon and Pico Bolivar. We also met the owners on our last day there who were very friendly and made sure we knew we were welcome back in the future. We had a memorable vacation and felt so safe and comfortable while there.

The ocean

Definitely not a boutique hotel. The beds and pillows were hard. The clean towels in the washroom smelled like urine. The mosquito netting on the shutters were dirty and room very plain. Nothing in your fridge is included- no tea or coffee courtesy In your room. Went to play pin pong with the kids and ball was broken, soccer table no ball. The pool looks bigger in the picture than what it actually is. The atmosphere dead and boring. Wifi extremely slow. Unable to work the tv. At check in we were told the rules of the place - didn’t seem very welcoming…don’t lose key because it’s expensive to replace. No food in your room. No loud music. No Pool after 830 pm …no no no etc. Anyways would of been helpful with a welcoming card that list the rules along with where to find things or what restaurants or activities near by. Nothing was given. Breakfast. Not enough. Left feeling hungry. Only positive is nice food presentation and nice staff. The hotel would been good it was half the price because that’s all it’s worth if that. Definitely expensive for what u get.
