I had a great stay at Hotel Kinbe, with its perfect location just steps from the beach and Quinta Avenida. The staff was super friendly and accommodating, making my experience enjoyable. On the downside, the noise from the nightlife was a bit much at times, so earplugs are a must if you're a light sleeper. Overall, I loved the boutique vibe and would come back for sure.
