“Calamari Baru Hotel strikes me as a smart choice on Playa Blanca, with its beachfront location and focus on friendly service. The food gets consistent praise, particularly the fresh fish, and rooms with sea views seem to catch a nice breeze. Access to the island can be a bit rough, so planning that part ahead with the hotel seems wise.”
