Lodging
San Pancho has a host of beautiful places to stay, ranging from moderately priced
comfort to world-class luxury. It is easy to find a place at the last minute in
the off-season (May through October). Expect to pay higher rates and book earlier
in the high season (November through April). For winter holidays in the most popular
spots, you will need to book well in advance.
During high season, the climate
is wonderful: dry and temperate with gentle ocean breezes. All the restaurants are
open, social life is active, and there are a lot of recreation options. Off season
can be hot, humid, and rainy, and many restaurants close during the middle of the
summer. If you tolerate a warmer climate and enjoy a very quiet place and amazing
tropical rainstorms, this can also be a magical time to visit.
When you hop in the shower after playing in the ocean, "C" stands for Caliente (hot)
and "F" stands for Frío (cold).

Villas Paradise is located in Costa Azul, near the beach, just outside San Pancho.
This hilltop architectural gem, reminiscent of the Alhambra in Granada, is a visually
striking feature of the San Pancho landscape. Amazingly spacious rooms under white
cupolas overlook blue pools, large terraces, the ocean, and the jungle.
One- and two-bedroom suites with air conditioning and full kitchens offer plenty
of comfortable space for families. This is a great location for reunions and events.

If you prefer to be closer in, Roberto’s Bungalows are located in the heart of San
Pancho, 2½ blocks from the beach. Five bungalows with separate air-conditioned bedrooms
and open-air kitchens and living rooms open onto a gorgeous courtyard and pool reminiscent
of a classic hacienda.
The grounds are private with keyed entry and are great for private parties and small
weddings. The hosts, Diana and Steve, are a big part of what makes this place special.

Costa Azul Adventure Resort is located just outside San Pancho and is its only all-inclusive
beachside resort. Reasonably priced packages include ocean view accommodations;
beach club membership; meals, unlimited a la carte dining, beer, house wine and
soft drinks; recreational equipment and a rotating selection of multiple daily adventures,
including surfing, horse-back riding, river-boat tours, whale-watching, snorkeling
and kayaking, hikes, boating, spa treatments, and shopping expeditions.
This resort also offers excellent dining and fresh Mexican buffets, as well as salsa
lessons, sports and jazz nights, a local mariachi band, folkloric ballet dancers,

Costa Azul Adventure Resort does not have a big resort feel. Four separate and distinct
lodging areas maintain a modest and friendly scale.
