My stay at El Colibri Hotel & Spa was a mixed bag. The location was fantastic, close to the beach and charming spots in town, and my room was clean and spacious. However, the breakfast options were a letdown, and I did face some issues with the elevator that impacted my comfort during the stay.

My stay at El Colibri Hotel & Spa was a mix of highs and lows. I loved the spacious room and the peaceful location near Moonstone Beach, but faced some issues with housekeeping and customer service. The outdoor jacuzzi was great, but a couple of small grievances took away from the overall experience.

I had such a good stay at El Colibri Hotel & Spa. The location next to Moonstone Beach was perfect for relaxing walks along the boardwalk. The staff really stood out, being super friendly and helpful with recommendations. On the flip side, the room I stayed in could definitely use some updates, especially the furnishings and bathroom fixtures. Thankfully, the little annoyances were outweighed by the welcoming atmosphere and cozy vibe.
