It was a great place to be for our 1st visit.
Pros:

Breakfast was very good. The owners were very nice. It was helpful being able to borrow chairs and a cooler for a beach day, which is a short walk.
Husband saw monkeys right outside. It was also close to anything you would need with a short walk.

Cons:

Cons:

Al arribar la cisterna del bany no funcionava, ho varem comentar però la solució era temporal

Pros:

We arrived 3 hours before check in and they permitted us to check in. Kind and helpful owners. Served breakfast like we were in a restaurant. Breakfast was superb. Parking available.
The place is located about a 3 minutes walk to the beach. I think the beaches name is Potrero and in my opinion it is the best in the area, better than conchal where the seabed was deeper and the waves were stronger. My 5 year old enjoyed walking out into the water in potrero anc could swim there, at conchal she had to stay at the water's edge.

Pros:

Pierre and Annette were excellent hosts at the Tobasco! The room was clean and well taken care of. The grounds were lovely. There are facilities to bring food and cook if one likes. The pool is well maintained and a relaxing atmosphere can be enjoyed. It is very close to the beach. But the breakfasts!! Unbelievable! The homemade breads and croissants! The fruit! Crepes! A very tasty start to your day!

Cons:

It can be a bit noisy during the day as construction goes on and it is close to the main road. This does not affect you during the nights.
