Hotel paradisiaco
Pros:

Hotel paradisiaco di fronte al mare. Personale gentile e disponibile. Soprattutto Elsa sempre pronta a soddisfare qualsiasi richiesta

Cons:

L'acqua calda non c'è. La stanza non viene pulita ogni giorno quindi le tovaglie della doccia restano quelle e purtroppo la colazione solo uovo e toast chi mm può mangiare quello non c'è altra opzione

Pleasant stay, but meal and service schedules should be clearly clarified.
Pros:

The place is an incredible space to rest, fall asleep, and wake up to the sound of the sea and the birds. We loved it. On the second level, the heat is not as noticeable and the fan is enough. The staff were always willing to help

Cons:

I didn’t like was the smell in the bathroom. Another thing I think should be clarified are the schedules and prices for additional services

Tiny beach paradise
Pros:

Such a cute little hotel right on the beach, surrounded by dogs and cats and even a pig! Moreover, Elsa was very helpful for all our requests.

Cons:

They informed us ahead that the little boat to get to the hotel, which they organized for us, would be 15k COP per person. However the boat men insisted it was 20k per person upon arrival and even drove away with some of my change (10k).

Excelente atención
Pros:

La atención del equipo excepcional y la ubicación lejana al área más masiva de la isla

Cons:

Hay un bar al lado que pone música hasta tarde y que lamentablemente por el huracán la terraza delantera de la playa estaba destruida

Tranquila
Pros:

la habitación a la que nos cambiaron fue realmente hermosa, cómoda con buena iluminación y la mejor vista

Cons:

la primera noche nos dieron una habitación al fondo en la cual se escuchaba el ruido de un transformador o alimentador de energía, este ruidofue muy duro toda la noche y toda la madrugada, lo que no nos permitió descansar esa primera noche. Sin ambargo al contarles del problema a las encargadas, estas hicieron lo posible para alojarnos en una mejor habitación y nos dieron la mejor del hotel, esto realmente nos pareció muy bueno y habla de un excelente servicio.
