Hervé is a great guy, and I am confident he'll organise a nice stay for you. His wife is a good cook !

No thank you,, I hate bugs.. I think I will go with Herve's hotel. 40-45 dollars is not expensive.

Default Bugs
The bugs are at the beach because of the mangroves and the hotel in town costs around 15.00 dollars with rest. and gen. set. etc. If you stay at the beach buy SKIN SO SOFT by Avon the original formula bath oil it will keep them away.

what are the 2 hotels like right on the beach in Montecristi.? Hotel Chic is a bit of a hike if you want to beach it.

Default Beach hotels
The last time i was there was about two years ago there are 4 hotels on the beach the best one is call Cayo Areana ( not spelled rite ) nice pool do not remember if it has t.v. As I recall most did not because there was no cable out to the beach. All should have gen. set and try Coco Mar Rest. the food is good fresh and inexpensive.
