My stay at La Dolce Vita Residence was wonderful, with stunning ocean views and a prime location just a short walk from Fornillo Beach. The hospitality from Maryse was truly really good, and the cleanliness of the rooms was impressive. However, navigating the many stairs to and from the hotel can be challenging, so I would advise others to use the porter service for their luggage.

Located very close to Fornillo Beach, the views were unmatched, but accessing the main street involved a lot of stairs. It was a pleasant 15-minute walk along the ocean to the town, and I enjoyed the scenic beauty along the way.

My stay at La Dolce Vita Residence was mixed. While I enjoyed the amazing views and the charming atmosphere, my experience was tainted by the host's unprofessional behavior. Accessing the location involved a challenging climb, and I felt the service was lacking in terms of support during my stay.
