Cabo Blanco has many positive attributes such as clean, safe rooms and a location within walking distance to the town of Barra de Navidad. However, depending on the room location, you may hear pickleball players begin the daily play at 8 am or earlier. Also, they host pickleball tournaments that last all day. There is an outside light that shines on some rooms, too. The pool area is nice but the shaded chairs and lounges often have towel or other items placed on them to "hold" them for others who are not present. When we were there, most days the same people reserved and occupied this area which discouraged me from using this shaded area. It appeared be be long term guests like me but I am not sure. The staff working in the hotel are very nice and accomodating. The Monday day music jams and Thursday night piano music dinners were exceptional. Thanks to Danny and Shelia!
