We are looking for a basic hotel with a great beach...
I hope this is it.

Hi there! We were there when this fire happened. We were in the hotel next door to the Costa del Mar to the south - the El Colibri. We had to run from the hotel 'cause one of the balconies was on fire. Anyway, as of Sunday am, the Costa del Mar was closed because a lot of rooms were wrecked, but I'd bet by the end of March they'll have things back to normal. However, may I suggest the El Colibri? I didn't see inside the Costa del Mar's rooms, but from the outside I'd say we had nicer ones at the Colibri - it's budget, but clean, with nice balconies - beachfront - great staff - hammocks. We paid $80 US/night but had to pay in cash and stay at least 7 days. A heck of a deal (and very little damage from the fire - already looks good as new).
But wouldn't hurt to take a plug in smoke detector if they keep doing fire dancing in heavy winds...................
