    First Room we didnt Like it was on the ground floor just with a Window to the staircase. Shower didnt get hot. We Change the second night (paid more) for a nicer Room. However cleaniness in kitchen area and If you looked too Close- Should be improved. Mold in the bathroom Price is too high for what it is in comparison with other accomodations.

    Its just one Block from the Beach in a Nice área We had free Breakfast Staff was nice

    We were in the second highest room and we had an excellent view out over the city and could see the beach as well. Three sides of the room has windows that open which gave a nice breeze at night and the sun island breakfast that we included in our stay was great! The location is really good as well, about a 15 min walk from the docks and is right next to many good restaurants for lunch/dinner. Overall, we were really comfortable and enjoyed our stay

    Jhonny and Sunny were very friendly and helpful. Room was spacious. The shower gets very hot if that's to your preference, though I took cooler showers. AC as advertised, but there's also a really nice ceiling fan. Bed was very comfortable, pretty quiet in my opinion and easy to rest and recover!

    The pillows were very light, our heads were basically on the mattress. The bathroom was very tight, there were no soap, no shampoo and no place to hang the towels. The second room we booked for our children was on the bottom and has no window.

    The room on the top was excellent, the wind was circulating, we didn't use the AC, it has a very nice view. The bed was large and comfortable. They cleaned the room every day. The staff was helpful.

    There was no toilet paper and no clean towels. We never saw the host after the ten minutes day one. We emailed the address on the wall two times on two different days, but no response. Then, emailed them through booking.com again with no response. There was nobody around the two nights we were there.

    The location was great. Staff was nice… for the ten minutes we saw her.

    the staff were too laid back in that I had to ask for everything e.g. where water refill is, how to pay, if there is a taxi service coming to the place etc. Also there was a light on the entire time in the corridor + the room only has sheer curtains so it was difficult to sleep with the light shininging into the room. The owners are not even on site late so I couldn't ask anyone to help with this.

    the cleanliness. hot water in shower.

    for 90 dollars a night I expect more, even on the Galápagos Islands. the bathroom was never really clean ( hairs on the windowsill which where not ours), the windows weren’t clean either. the fridge had an old opened bottle of water during our whole stay. there is no place for the beach wear to hang. there is a misleading picture ( picture number 8) which suggest that there is an rooftop outdoor area, but it’s actually just the view from the window pictured from a weird angle. the communication before our stay was a mess, I never really got an (proper) answer to my questions, very unprofessional. we asked for a taxi three times, they told us it’s going to be there- well it wasn’t. in the end we talked to a staff member and she ordered us a taxi up on our request ( which was then the 4th request). the restaurant was only open till noon - then they closed the place with ropes, which is not very inviting. we really don’t understand the good reviews.

    the location is good. the view is also nice. the staff is friendly and helpful. the communication through WhatsApp was always quick with Nelly, she was caring and always there with a quick fix. The room got cleaned everyday, also with fresh towels.
