6/10 Good

The room smelled a little damp. The bathroom was slimy. The pool was moldy. The breakfast was a very small portion, but it tasted good. My family and I were informed by the staff that it was only one drink per person and no refill… My room didn't have a hairdryer. The facilities were very nice with mageatic view. The hotel very well located, and had a very nice and private beach access. The grass could have been better maintained.

Overall, the stay was great. The property is a bit dated but the open air reception area, bar and dining area with view of the bay is magnificent. Rooms are clean, bathrooms have been updated, nice shower. Large pool. Overall fine for the money. Would stay there again.

Anthony, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff were amazing definitely the best part, the hotel was lovely with a great view. However, when I booked it, it was advertised as hotel and casino with tours and massages. There was no casino, unable to get a tour through the hotel and never saw anything about massages while I was there.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful property! Stunning views, very nice people and workers. Quiet place to relax which is exactly what I was looking for. I did notice that it could have been more clean… pool, terrace, fabric pool chairs. Other than that, not complaints!
Taylor, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Low key, chill, friendly.

Hotel Dunama was perfect for me. Low key, not too crowded. The staff was above and beyond friendly and kind. The beds are comfortable. Good food, good drinks. There is a beautiful private beach. The pool is a good temperature and very calm. Gorgeous view of the water from the top of a hill. I’d stay there again.

Really enjoyed our stay, property was beautiful, pool was clean and enjoyed walking around the property. Dining area had beautiful view of the ocean and great food. Bit of a walk into town and to the beach but otherwise really enjoyed our stay.

James, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

The photos and reviews are deceiving. The property unfortunately is run down, the pool was dirty, the bed sheets were worn down and the rooms had a weird smell. The only good thing going for them was the staff who are extremely helpful.
pritesh, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The hotel needs cleaning. The pool needs deep cleaning, there is green algae in the pool. The garden room’s view it is the view of dry grass and dirt. The garden view rooms are four floors down and there is not elevator. There were dry leaves on the stairs and hallways. The beach is far from the hotel. There are many steps to climb.
