Domo El Pescador Coyhaiqu, para 5 personas, cuenta con tinaja de pago adicional

10/10 Excellent
"Once we gained access it was very nice inside. Well appointed for a unique accomodation. A cool place to stay. The big problem we had was a disconnect between reserving through Expedia and being told Vrbo would be our source for gaining access. It took a very long time to gain access based on the directions for access from the owner never making it to Vrbo. I spoke to Vrbo finally (took forever to get through) and they got it coordinated at the very last minute. We almost gave up and were ready tio find another place. Vrbo admitted this has been and ongoing problem between them and Expedia!"
