I stayed with a friend at Quinta Carrizalillo for 4 nights. The staff was extremely helpful with directions and local information. They kept the hotel very clean and were always friendly. The hotel is nothing fancy, but a great place to stay that is clean, close to the beach, spacious, and allows you to cook if you feel so inclined. The junior suite was comfortable with air conditioning, two beds, a futon, and small couch. The kitchenette was very simply stocked with basic utensils, plates, cups, and a few pans, and a pot. There was a coffee maker, toaster, and blender. We really enjoyed the top level of the hotel where there was a great view of the ocean, comfortable tables to eat at, and hammocks to rest/sleep. I would gladly stay at Quinta Carrizalillo again - it was about a 5 minute walk from the beach and the neighborhood was safe to walk around at night.
