Une adresse coup de cœur où l’on se sent comme à la maison, avec une équipe adorable et aux petits soins ! ❤️
Pros:

Une très belle adresse avec une ambiance détendue, chaleureuse et très sympathique. Je voyage seule et je me suis tout de suite sentie à l’aise ici.

Toute l’équipe est vraiment gentille et accueillante, avec une petite mention particulière pour les filles qui ont été adorables et vraiment aux petits soins. Après plusieurs jours de voyage en solo, ça m’a aussi fait plaisir de pouvoir échanger un peu avec elles. 😊

Je m’y suis tellement bien sentie que j’ai finalement décidé de prolonger mon séjour de deux nuits !

Les chambres sont propres, les douches sont chaudes avec une bonne arrivée d’eau, ce qui est vraiment appréciable. L’accès à la plage se fait par leur hôtel partenaire, juste à côté, qui est lui aussi très agréable. On peut également profiter de son restaurant.

Les petits-déjeuners sont copieux et le restaurant propose une cuisine plutôt simple, mais bonne et de qualité.

Un endroit où l’on se sent vraiment bien, avec une équipe attentionnée et une ambiance très agréable. Je recommande sans hésiter !

Cons:

S’il fallait vraiment mentionner un petit point à améliorer, ce serait peut-être le temps d’attente au niveau des deux restaurants, qui peut parfois être un peu long. Mais cela reste un détail par rapport à la qualité de mon séjour et à la gentillesse de toute l’équipe.

Pros:

La ubicación en primera linea de playa, bueno esta detrás del jotel Lala Galu que es de los midmis dueños y a la plsya se accede por jardines de este (160 metros)...Amabilidad del personal dando facilidades para todo (agilizar chueck in, preparar picknic desayuno en caso de madrugar, etc.).
El desayuno con 3 opciones : vegetariano. Inglés o dulce/tortitas. Nosotros sólo Desayunamos un día pues el otro nos dieron cajitas para llevar.
Aunque las habitaciones son contenedores están muy bien insonorizados y climatizados, son originales.
La piscina aunque muy estrecha muy cómoda para darte un chspuzon rápido y relajarte en amacas.
Muy buena comida y atención en Restsurante del Lala Galu.

Cons:

A horas centrales del día bastante calor en terraza del bar/restaurante, pero no es problema pq nosotros siempre íbamos a la del Lala Galu (se solucionaría cambiando la cubierta de plástico por algún toldo aislante).
Aunque ya nos avisaron cuidado con los monos si dejas ventana abierta; la despistada de mi hija se dejo la del baño y por ahí entro llevándose unas chuches y disfrutando de un brick de zumo....pero lo dicho si se dejan cerradas no hay problema (de hecho esto ha sido una anécdota de lo más divertido aún nos reimos).
Un grupo ruidoso de hombres algo bebidos que hacia más ruido de lo normal y entiendo que les deberían haber llamado la atención ; entiendo que es algo puntual.

it was not the greatest with respect to the staff i interfaced with
Pros:

the breakfast was nice. the room was good for the price. i also made a friend there and it was lovely seeing the monkeys around.

Cons:

i didn't have a good experience with the staff. was badgered from breakfast to check out of the facility. left a sour taste in my mouth. also arrived at the hotel about an hour before check in and no concession was made to check me into an available room which was not my experience with the hotel i'd left before coming to boxo. the sink in the bathroom was also malfunctioning.
