This is a fabulous little place! Very conveniently walking distance to the center of Santa Elena, and not as noisy as we feared, being so close to the "highway". Our room had a fridge, microwave, kettle and coffee maker as well as all the dishes and utensils we might need, and there was a full kitchen at our disposal in the office next to us. The staff are friendly and helpful and speak excellent English. The view was spectacular from our suite, although I imagine it's not so great from most of them. There is an auto mechanic shop right behind the hotel, so it can be a bit noisy during the day.
