The place was spotlessly clean, spacious, and had a nice small kitchen for our use. The owner is a great fellow, goes out of his way to be helpful.

La reserva se realizo a traves de la aplicacion ( se pago conn dinero que la aplicacion te da por antiguas reservas y nosotros pagamos la diferencia por una noche) y cuando llegamos al hotel ellos dijeron que no han recibido el monto total y que no nos hacen valido la reserva. Nos dieron el paso a otro hotel que administran ellos tambien y tuvimos que pagar la diferencia ya que por feriado no teniamos otra opcion todo estaba ocupado. El afirma que ya no trabaja con reservas bajo la aplicacion pero su hotel hasta el dia de hoy sigue en la aplicacion y se puede reservar . Asi que tengan cuidado!-

El precio cobrado al ingresar fue superior al publicado. En más de una ocasión debimos esperar para ingresar o salir pues no había personal alguno del hostal. Nos cobraron un recargo por dejar la maleta luego de la hora de salida.

Buena ubicacion. La limpieza debe mejorar, sobre todo en epoca de pandemia, pareciera que no se dan realmente las precauciones de caso, pues no se veia realmente limpia la habitacion. Gran amabilidad del personal. El area de designada para parqueo, quedaba al frente, solo era un terreno vacio donde sejar el vehiculo.

AC needs improvement

The room is fine for one night, but the AC did not cool down the room. Unfortunately didn’t get to try the free breakfast. The people at the front desk try to be helpful, even though they didn’t know the exact address of the hotel.

Me gusto el trato y la atención brindada, la movilización es relativamente fácil ya sea en taxi o en bus, caminando la distancia es considerable. El departamento asignado estaba en buenas condiciones, la única observación sería los enchufes del dormitorio que no funcionaban, pero el resto todo muy bien.

Do not stay here

The location was horrible, there were no "ocean views", it was dirty, disorganized, and we cancelled our stay here. We went to a beach about 30 minutes away and were delighted with our decision. The only saving grace was the owner letting us cancel. This can't even be considered a hostal - terrible.
