Pros:

Hotel situated directly on the beach, wonderful location. Considering the limited offers in Contadora island, the restaurant and beach bar of this place is quite expensive. Staff is really nice, rooms are basic. The beach was a little bit run-down and poorly maintained, anyway the sea was spectacular.

Agréable
Pros:

La gentillesse du personnel
La proximité face à la mer
Les accessoires plages chaises longues
La beauté du site

Cons:

La vétusté du bâtiment sans doute pas facile à entretenir bien que le personnel nettoyait chaque matin. Le site a besoin d être rénové pour garder son côté pittoresque.

Cómodo hotel ubicado frente a linda playa.
Pros:

La atención del personal es muy calida. Te hacen sentir bienvenido.
Buen servicio de bar y comida en la playa.
Si bien el check in es a las 2pm, el ferry llega antes de las 10am. Nos fueron a recoger, nos prestaron baño para cambiarnos, nos guardaron las maletas y nos proporcionaron tumbonas y sombrilla para que disfrutaramos de la playa.
La pasamos muy bien.

Cons:

Faltaba un poco de mantenimiento en la habitación.
