My stay at Hotel Mandalas House was a mix of wonderful experiences and a few disappointments.

The location had its perks being close to Rodadero beach, but the noise from stray dogs at night was bothersome. Additionally, the necessity to be buzzed in and out was a bit irritating.

I had a wonderful two-night stay at Hotel Mandalas House By Dot Boutique. The rooms were spotless and really well-decorated, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. However, I thought the breakfast options could use a bit of variety, as an arepa de huevo alone wasn't quite enough for me. Overall, I'd rate my experience positively!
