This is a nice little lodge within the Flamingo/Potrero area. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the included breakfast was adequate. Definitely I would recommend this if you´re looking for a good place to stay without breaking the bank.

Belle option familiale et abordable

C'est un endroit confortable, pas luxueux. Très abordable et bien situé à 5 mins en voiture de la plage flamingo. Il y a une épicerie directement à coté de l'hotel.

The staff are kind and friendly. The pool is warm! The rooms are large and having a small fridge is a great feature. The included breakfast was filling and delicious. The place is not fancy, but it’s clean and very quiet. I enjoyed my stay.

Excellent for the price, but there is the same breakfast every day and it is slightly further from the beach than what I originally believed.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
There was only one plug-in in the whole room and it was far from the beds so we had to ask for an extension cord to plug in our CPAP and other personal items. There were bugs in the bathroom in the sheets and throughout the room. There were only two pillows on each bed and only one minimal sheet. We ended us leaving one night early.

Arrival: the parking lot is right in front of reception with only one entrance making it easy to find. The Check-in: The check-in was smooth. The lady {whom I believe is the owner} was very polite and walked us to our room and made sure we were content. The Room: The rooms are small but they have a functioning air conditioner which I was very grateful for. The place also comes with a fridge and wifi but the wifi is very hit or miss and we weren’t too far from the receptionist office. The showers functioned as should and really nothing much to say about it. do note that this place does not come with hair products, or body soap but it does come with hand soap bar which I suppose you can use for the shower too. Location: There’s a laundromat, a supermarket, and a lot of restaurants nearby which are very much walking distance but be mindful there are no sidewalks. The beach is about a 5-7 minute drive. Staff: I’ve only spoke to the receptionist. There is another lady there who seems to do the cleaning and walks around with a sour face. I greeted her one time and she looked at me dismissively. I don’t know what her deal was nor do I care to find it but she made us feel like she wasn’t happy having us and that’s where I knocked the 1 star off the rating. Breakfast: The breakfast is simple and more-or-less the same daily — scrambled eggs, rice with beans, 2 small slices of fruits, a small slice of plantain, and bread. All in all, good for short stays and nothing more unfortunately
