Breakfast selection not good. Receptionist rude asf and tried to stick us in wrong room. Our last night there a dog got eaten by a wild animal and its screams echoed so loudly it was disturbing. It wasnt hotel fault but it was so scary and sad i couldn't go back to bed. The views are amazing, the private beach is best ever, food is good. Mixed bag staying here. If you come for the views and privacy this is your place. Hiwever if you want good service and positive vibes this isnt your place.

The breakfast menus consisted of two choices. Both were fine for breakfast that was included. The property needs quite a bit of upkeep. The staff were very friendly. They close the gate around 4-5 pm and a security guard needs to open it for you, not a big inconvenience but just something to keep in mind. The hotel shuts down at 9 pm.

Excellent stay at the Dunama Hotel in Playa Flamingo. Rooms cleaned daily, comfortable beds, sliding glass doors to ocean view decks, tasty meals, stairs to black sand beach for swimming and snorkeling. Nice pool and swim up bar, fun lobby with early evening music. Lobby managers can help with arranging offsite sailing, etc.
