Punta Rucia Lodge Hotel Boutique & Spa  

On Punta Rucia’s shoreline, this boutique beach hotel sits steps from Punta Rucia Beach and La Ensenada Beach. Stroll to the town center and local parks, or book excursions to nearby adventure parks and a golf course. The nearest major airport is about 96 km away.

Set on roughly 3 hectares like a small village, the property is intimate and pedestrian-only. Accommodation is in individually decorated rooms and a dozen luxe seaside cottages called "Fares." Rooms feature refrigerators, minibars, LCD TVs, safes and rainfall showers with designer toiletries. An infinity pool hugs the beachfront and a wooden pontoon reaches out to the sea.

Treatments and facials at the on-site spa and a compact massage room keep things mellow. There’s an outdoor infinity pool and a poolside bar, a health club, a diving club and karaoke for after-dark fun. Kids have playrooms and babysitting is available (surcharge). Complimentary wired and wireless internet and free self-parking keep things easy. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and a guarded, low-density resort feel.

Event facilities of about 1,900 sq ft (177 m²) include a meeting room for seminars or projections. The hotel offers express check-in and check-out, complimentary wired and wireless internet, and a roundtrip airport shuttle (surcharge).

A beachfront gourmet restaurant serves French-inspired dishes with pool and ocean views and alfresco seating on the terrace. Enjoy drinks at the terrace or poolside bar, drop into the complimentary reception, or order room service during limited hours. A cooked-to-order breakfast is served daily.
