Hotel located about 10 mins walk from Santa Elena. Room lovely and spacious with our swing as an added extra! Staff really great and breakfasts were lovely.
Karen, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great value for the price. We were highly satisfied by our 4 persons cabin, it had great view, a small balcony and good privacy. The breakfast was fantastic with 4 options cooked to order. Parking was not an issue. Would definetly go back to Don Taco if I retirn to the area.

10/10 Exceptional

The best!

This was one of our favorite hotels! We tried to stay an additional night but it was fully booked. The view was spectacular. Breakfast was delicious. It was close to the center of town but far enough away that it felt private. The staff was incredibly helpful, the room was clean, and the shower was nice and hot.

Jessie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was much better than I expected. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included each morning. It was raining one night and we didn't want to walk down town so we went to the restaurant. The food was really good and the bar was also great and accommodating. The entire experience exceeded my expectations.

Sunil, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable room, there is a good restaurant directly in the hotel, it's also possible to book tour right at reception. WiFi was a bit unstable though.
Dmytro, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice room. Comfortable bed.
Marvin, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Great property in a central location. Breakfast was great and the receptionist was lovely and friendly and showed us a great map of the area. The rooms are basic, no shampoo so make sure you bring some. Pillows are paper thin and the bed wasn’t the comfiest. No air con so it got quite hot on our family room for 5. We enjoyed our stay but glad it was only for 1 night. Comfort wise. The hotel is very close to the town and walking to it is easy although no real pavements. Walking back is not so easy as it’s all uphill so no good for anyone with walking difficulties or wheelchair users.
Lisa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great breakfast. Rooms need to be upgraded.
James, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice staff. Helpful in arranging activities and transportation. The restaurant and bar were n very nice too. Walk to downtown Santa Elena is not far but the walk back to the hotel is a pretty steep climb!
Michelle, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great relationship quality-price. Don Taco is very well located, near the downtown but in a quieter area. The room was not big but the bathroom was comfortable. The breakfast was well served and the staff very kind.
