Playa la Media Luna Hotel
Small hotel on the northeast side of the island, near the Avalon Reef Club. Low-priced rooms starting at US$40 are in an older building while the newer building has more luxurious rooms and suites at prices up to US$225. The Hotel is quite charming. It's locally owned, only 18 rooms. And it was designed so that each room feels as though you are isolated from your neighbors. Each floor has a sitting room, with books all over the place. We had a room with a jacuzzi that you had to take a beautiful wooden walkway to get to, and you never ever heard your neighbors... just the birds, the surf and and the wind. It is owned and run by a local family two young women run it, Kin and Maria. Also, the famous fishing Captain Anthony Mendillo has his Keen M Deep Sea Fishing office there. We were kind to the staff; we tipped liberally, and we did our best to speak Spanish and be friendly. It was paradise. The sunrises over the Caribbean are amazing (if you're up!, and from about 2 pm on, the place is spectacular. The beach and the hotel turn golden, and the pool is warm by then, and you go down and swim and get later sun, and it's perfect. You can lean on a ledge facing the beach, and you are on your own little half moon cove, and it truly is one of the most beautiful spots on the island.
