Good location
Location, houses in the forest as wel as a sweet and salt swimming pool.
The food lacked a lot of quality. The hotel must focus on hiring new cooking staff to improve the quality of food as soon as possible.

Quiet and calm but room to improve.
Quiet and relaxing with beautiful views. The 5 star resort is next door but I really appreciated this place being smaller and quieter. Staff who checked us in were so helpful and friendly but sadly not all were. Good…

The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.

Questions about Chema's by the Sea

What time is check-in and check-out at Chema's by the Sea?

Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 12:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Chema's by the Sea allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Chema's by the Sea?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Chema's by the Sea have a pool?

Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.

Is breakfast included at Chema's by the Sea?

Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.

Does Chema's by the Sea have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Chema's by the Sea?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
