Wonderful spot!

La Ponderosa was awesome. It is across the street from one of the prettiest beaches I have ever seen. Rooms are nice and clean. The grounds and pool are spotless. We really enjoyed our stay

Staying here was a wonderful experience. The hosts were friendly and the location is directly across from the beautiful ocean. The property is amazing and well kept. You don’t need to stay here just to surf in the area, although it was a solid choice for that as well. Gladly stay here again and highly recommend this property for a trip to the Pavones area.
