Dreamcatcher Hotel - Atrapasueños

Beautiful hotel, but had very bad experience. Woken up at 1am by locals having a very loud party at the pool. It seems only one person who stays here let around 20 people in and decided to take over the common area around the pool with loud music. Apparently, they all know the owner and were quite familiar with the grounds. I spoke to some of the other guests and the said that the owner (Mauricio) Will not answer his phone, despise his being the number being supplied as the after hours contact. Not worth paying the premium for a “boutique hotel” if you will likely have a more sophisticated experience at a local backpackers.

Our group rented the entire hotel and the staff couldn't have been nicer! While the hotel shows a bit tired it more than made up for it with having the pool and covered porch area right off the main house area. We had the use of the full main floor kitchen (two refrigerators too!) and were able to cook most meals here at the hotel. Carolina was our main contact and helped us make all our excursions which worked out really well. Bioluminescence tour, surfing lessons, ATV day, horseback riding and massages. She's WONDERFUL!! Can't say enough good things about about Jason (our guide for both the ATV and BIoluminescence tours. He ROCKS! Tiko and Tico for ATV and surfing but Carolina will help you. Miss Dora, housekeeper is just a lovely lady and put up with our limited Spanish. The front office offered many times to help us but we had everything arranged in advance since there were 18 of us total. The hotel offers lots of hammocks and gathering areas plus private areas off of each room so you can have some of your own quiet time if you'd like. Two observations-the road isn't paved through much of the city so be prepared for muddy shoes. We had shoes we could wash so it didn't matter to us. And we brought an insulated bag so we could take stuff to the beach every day--well worth it with young kids. We'd stay here again!!
