Homestays in San Onofre

If you're looking for the manicured environment of a chain hotel, look away. But if you're ready to have a local experience, full of character and care, then you'll be pleased to be hosted by Zaira and her lovely dog, Caracola. Staying here for 3 nights was a total joy. The taxi driver from San Onofre asked why I didn't stay by the beach and, in hindsight, I'm so glad I didn't. Zaira's is just 6 minutes walking distance (super safe) from the town / beach area — which is lively but gets extremely noisy, especially on evenings. Being able to dip in and out of the joyful chaos of Rincón was a bliss. Zaira put every effort to make my stay comfortable. She welcomed me with freshly blitzed mango juice and made sure to have the perfect combo of fresh local fruit, arepas, coffee and eggs that I said would be my ideal breakfast. All decorated with wonderfully big leaves and bright flowers from her garden! The room I booked had a cute visiting toad that I refused to disturb, so I moved to the neighbouring one which was basically the same. They are all decorated in honour of a different artist (Van Gogh, Kahlo, Márquez...) and are sufficiently spacious to make em your temporary home. Zaira knows everyone in Rincón and will do her utmost to accommodate your needs. She booked my trip to Tintinpán, including a moto-taxi pickup that made my departure super easy. I enjoyed our chats about politics, love and life — which reveal Zaira's attentive, non-judgemental and optimistic outlook. Her psychology/teaching background and love for life shine through her conversation and beautiful 'project' of Los Versos. 10/10 experience. Highly recommended.

Staff were delightful, breakfast was delicious and very generous portions. Really lovely place and despite being at the end of the beach, we felt it was bar far the nicest bit of beach on the whole strip.

Really nice hostel. I felt like in family and this thanks to Ana Maria❤ Definetly I would come back sometime.

Rincon del Mar is a beautiful location, perfect for sleepy days by the beach and delicious local cuisine. Mamallena was really comfortable and the staff were friendly. The rooms were comfortable, it had direct access to the beach, and it was surrounded by nice simple restaurants. I was working throughout my stay and the wifi was strong enough. It was a lovely relaxed stay in a dreamy setting.

Staff super friendly, and great to be so close to the beach. Island tour was a great morning which the hostel easily organised for us

Very comfortable stay. The owner of the place gives a lot of personal care to make your stay pleasant. She helps you with finding great places to eat, booking tours, and exploring the area. Location is great just a few blocks from the main square and everything on walking distance.

The location was great, just a few blocks from the beach. I was able to do a short walk back and forth which makes it perfect. The rooms were very clean, comfortable and private, beautiful garden with lots of trees to enjoy. The lovely couple who runs it was beyond our expectations, they were very attentive, helpful, friendly and overall great hosts. I cannot express my gratitude with them as they took us in and made our short stay so pleasant. I would rate them 10/10 on everything. We stay in the loft, but we were able to arrange breakfast and the cuisine was very delicious. I would go back in the future.

Lovely hostel right on the beach from with sun loungers. Rooms modern and clean with comfy beds. Great AC. Big shower room. Large kitchen which was very well equipped

Well organized, clean, attractive small hotel right on the beach.
