Hotel Real de Don Juan

Top choice in Central Pacific Coast


This beautifully done-up hacienda overlooking Plaza Constituyentes strikes the right balance between colonial character and urban style. Upstairs rooms are decked out in appealing pastel colors, with luxurious king beds and marble-accented bathrooms. A good restaurant with alcove tables over the street, plus a classy bar and rooftop lounge and lap pool add points.

Two imposing angel-warrior statues keep watch over the tranquil lobby.

Downsides? Wi-fi comes and goes like a stray cat, and the nearby church bells are more bane than boon if you're a night owl.
