Fodor's Expert Review Quinta Maria Cortez

It takes a long walk up a steep hill at Playa Conchas Chinas to reach this bed-and-breakfast, where rooms are furnished with antiques and local art; most have kitchenettes, or full kitchens, along with balconies. Other draws are the efficient and welcoming staff, the fortifying breakfast (cooked to order) served on a palapa-covered patio, the nearly private beach below, and the views from the rooftop sundeck.
