Looking for a quiet place to chill out on the beach, I headed to the Delfin after Semana Santa 2012. Wonderfully nice and helpful staff, and probably the best low-budget place in town. If there aren't too many clients you can have your own "dorm" or double room for the price of single-occupation and not have to share. Main problems:... More

Semana Santa. I expected crowds and loud. I was warned. That's fine. The rooms are not enclosed so you can hear your neighbors clearly. Not just your neighbors, but everything outside. My room was bordered by a dusty street and small alley. The public urination was appalling. The scent would waft in the room. My room was never cleaned. Thatched... More

Hotel el Delphin - I enjoyed my stay two years ago so much that I made a detour this trip to spend a couple of days there this trip. I was pleased to find that the hotel has new owners, a young couple who are making the whole experience even better! I will definitely return. To get there, I recommend... More

I loved this Hotel! It was clean, right on the beach and the food was delicious, safe and cheap. The pool was also wonderful and the hammocks outside the rooms were the best. No there was no air conditioning but for the price the fan worked just fine ! The other people staying here were friendly, kind and we all... More

The hotel delphin is my favorite backpacker in Guatemala. The owners are fantastic, the staff really friendly. Its the best budget option ever. I would recommand it to anyone. The hotel is also on the beach, the bar is nice and small, and its a quiet place.

On our last day in Guatemala, we discovered the Hotel-el-Delfin. Spent the day on their beautiful beach, enjoyed their delicious food and were blown away by their hospitality even though we were not even spending the night with them. So sorry it was the last day of our trip instead of the first day. It's what I always pictured for... More

We've been in El Delfin, Monterrico in novembre 2011 and we absolutely loved it. The owners are very friendly and speak English. They helped us arrange a hotel in Antigua (Posada Burkhard, also recommended). The food is good and if you stay 4 nights the last night is free. The dogs are the most amazing creatures who will follow you... More

The Hotel El Delfin is the best place to stay in Monterrico if you want good food, affordable and clean rooms and most of all: friendly staff! I worked there myself with a friend for 3 month in the bar right at the beach and it was one of the best times in my life! We felt at home right... More
