Mao is a nice city,the Hotel Caoba is a strange place,always more staff than guests and the rooms aint cheap,about 75 bucks if i recall.Lobby is nice and clean but away from that the rooms are small and dusty with stained tiles in the bathrooms.Pool area is ok.There is another hotel in Mao just down the road from the Morel Supermercado, Aparta something or other,and also there is Aqua Azul apparently nice swimming areas,is also located in Mao
