The room and entire property were extremely clean, safe and inviting. The staff was friendly, courteous, and helpful (and spoke English). They patiently and cheerfully answered all my touristy questions. The room had everything I needed -- a comfortable bed, hot water, extra blankets, a great view, a wall safe and cable TV (which I didn't use). The property is located across the street from the river/ocean and a very short walk from both the beautiful old town and the regular downtown. Breakfast (pastries, toast, jelly, cheese, cereal, yogurt, juice and coffee) was totally fine and was served in a quaint and clean reception/dining area. People say Colonia becomes boring after a day or two, but I disagree. I was there five days and could have easily stayed another five.
