The upstairs deck is beautiful - really nice place to hang out at night. Daytime it is scaldingly hot out there starting about 7 AM, though. Zeida was so sweet - she's the one that makes (a really nice) breakfast in the morning. Always a smile, always pleasant, and works with you when you speak to her in broken Spanish, without judgment. I love the hot water and chilled water dispenser making it easy to stay hydrated and not buy single use bottled water. There's definitely no wi-fi - but that's pretty consistent across the island...not the property's fault. Check in was chaos - no one at the desk, and no one answers the Whatsapp phone number they give you. I waited several hours out front before giving up. Eventually I just wandered upstairs and found an open room and made myself at home since it was getting dark. haha. Turns out that was indeed my room, but how would I have known that? Two other guests had the same experience the day before but were less presumptious than I, and just went across the street and paid for a hotel room at another place. This is not a social place - anyone hoping to meet people while traveling, this is not the spot for you - unless you happen to be having breakfast same time as someone else, and then be presumptious enough to make conversation, there's not much chance for interaction with other guests - no programs, no common kitchen, etc. But all in all, location is terrific, rooms nice and clean, and Zeida's breakfasts make this place great.

Pros: Great location, friendly staff and decent rooms Cons: Breakfast is very basic and always the same but it does the job. Internet can be very slow at times.

Great location - close to everyting, small kitchenette on the terrace, air conditioner, hot water in the shower. Wifi was barely working in the room but was ok on the terrace.

The staff were kind and warm, but it didn’t make up for the lack of hot water and broken hairdryer. Would have appreciated if they just let the guests know about the lack of hot water rather than admitting it was non working after it was reported by a guest.

Très bien situé prix raisonnable mais j’ai réservé 2 chambres une plus cher pour mon conjoint et moi et l’autre pour nos amies. Notre chambre était extrêmement petite, un lit double, la chambre de bain minuscule et une seule prise de courant. Celle de nos amies avait deux lits queen, une très grande salle de bain, la porte patio sur la malecon et ne fermait pas correctement, la poignée de porte était très lousse , un régiment de fourmis se promenaient dans la chambre et elle ont vu une « bibitte » qui ressemblait à une coquerelle.

ロケーションは港、スーパー、レストラン、散歩などに最高です。 間をあけた連泊でしたが、後半連泊時の夕刻チェックイン時に事務所が閉まって誰もおらず、部屋の鍵がないまま入室しました。せめて、メモでも置いておいてくれてあればよかったが電話も国際ローミング電話では途方に暮れる。
