Highlights
Location: Centrally located along Esperanza's El Malecon
Rooms: 30 rooms with stunning views and custom furnishings
Social Space: Doblé accommodates up to 4 adults
Unique Design: Architecture inspired by coral reefs
“Here's my take: This adults-only hotel emphasizes modern design, drawing inspiration from local culture. The location across from Sun Bay beach cannot be overstated, and the mesquite-fired cuisine adds a distinctive flavor. Live music adds a social element that I find appealing.”
