Fodor's Expert Review Ventanas al Mar

The lights of San Miguel are a distant glow on the horizon when you look west from the only hotel on the windward coast. Run on generator power, this small inn has neither phones nor Wi-Fi. All of the spacious, simply furnished rooms have patios or balconies; two-story suites have a bedroom and full bath upstairs plus a living area, half-bath, and kitchenette downstairs. Mexican-style breakfasts are served on the open-air deck; other meals are available at Coconuts next door. Sea turtles nest on the long beach beside the hotel in summer, and tropical fish gather by the rocky point.
