Fodor's Review:

The lights of San Miguel are but a distant glow on the horizon when you look west from the only hotel on the windward coast. Turn east, though, and you can watch shooting stars flash through the nighttime sky over the foaming sea. Escape is complete at this small, ecofriendly inn that runs on solar power; there are no phones, no computer hookups. The rooms are commodious and comfortable, and have microwaves, refrigerators, and coffeemakers. Two-story suites have separate bedrooms, a half-bath downstairs, and a full bath upstairs. Rates ($164 to $184) are significantly higher but a bargain when shared by four people. Full breakfast is served in the open-air lobby, and meals are available at Coconuts, next door, until dusk. Sea turtles nest on the long beach beside the hotel in summer, and tropical fish and anemones gather by the rocky point in front of the rooms. A two-night minimum stay is required.

wonderful getaway

Posted by crusaderfan from Tennessee on 12/17/08
We have stayed here twice before for 10 days each time and look forward to going again this month. It is an amazing place - truly relaxing and incredible views. Rent a car and go into town, but feel your tension drain as you drive over to the east side and pull into Ventanas al Mar for the night. Heaven on earth!
