Located in Potrero, 1 km from Penca Beach, LA QUEBRADA ECO LODGE Hotel Boutique provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a private beach area. This 5-star hotel offers room service, a business centre and free WiFi. The hotel features mountain views and a terrace. We have fall in love from the moment the gate openned. Such a warm welcome by the owner! Everything is perfectly clean, all the bungalov equipment is new and modern, especially the A/C. Front terrace has a fully equiped kitchen, large fridge and a comfortable seating area either on the bar chairs or on sofa. Bed super comfortable, not too soft; bed linen just ideal for the hot nights. Lights in and outside the bungalov are selected for all activities you choose to do from reading to cooking. And the pool is just amazing! Wish we could stay longer than 3 nights.
