La Posadita lives up to its name: a small family-run place in La Juanita, with units ranging from classic double rooms to lofts, duplexes and a free-standing bungalow for up to four people. There's a pool with a deck, a barbecue in the garden, a bar and free bicycles for pedalling to the beach or the village. They even take pets — a real rarity in this area.

It's the kind of place where the owner recommends a beach based on the day's wind. It will suit families, couples travelling with a dog, and independent travellers who want a comfortable, no-fuss base near José Ignacio, with a kitchen or space of their own so they don't depend on restaurants every night. Simple, honest and well located — sometimes that's exactly what you're after.
