Prestations bien en deçà du prix demandé (mauvais rapport qualité / prix)
Pros:

Belle vue sur le lac et restaurant très bon. Nous y avons dîné et partagé une pizza très généreuse à deux. Le petit-déjeuner était typique et satisfaisant

Cons:

La propreté est à revoir (toiles d’araignée dans les recoins de la salle de bain, insecte présent dans l’unique distributeur de produit douche mis à disposition et fourmis au sol, papier dans le siphon du lavabo, chaises tachées). Nous n’avions pas d’eau chaude au début et avons dû demander à ce qu’ils allument le gaz. Il n’y a pas de poignée à la porte de la chambre (impossible de la fermer de l’extérieur sans la verrouiller avec la clé). Un seul interrupteur présent pour le plafonnier qui représente l’unique point lumineux de la pièce. Il n’y avait pas d’armoire dans la pièce / penderie dans la salle de bain, et pas de balcon mais une coursive, hôtel mal insonorisé localisé à côté d’un bar de nuit, piscine et ses abords sales et non entretenus.

Pros:

Le cadre est magnifique ! Nous avons eu l'occasion de voir plusieurs oiseaux bien différents. La proximité du centre de Nuevo nous a fait voir aussi comment vive les locaux.

Couldn't sleep
Pros:

The offer of a breakfast was nice and the pool looks like it would have a great view. Manager was willing to refund us.

Cons:

Impossible to sleep from constant noisy neighbors from sunset through to sunrise. Thin walls, creaky floors. Cantina next door playing incredibly loud music past 1am. Then roosters crowing from 2am onwards plus chihuauas barking. We literally had to drive our car somewhere else and sleep in it. We returned just before 6am and found an open air gym next door was blasting workout music. Take this with a grain of salt because the other two couples there reported hearing none of this as they are very heavy sleepers. If you are not an insanely heavy sleeper, dont even take a chance here. Shame because it is a beautiful place.

Cute little budget friendly place.
Pros:

The view from our room on the end, the restaurant deck, & pool deck are AMAZING! And if you're on an end room towards the lake the breeze coming in is WONDERFUL. I don't think I would want to be in a room not on the end. Room was comfortable and VERY clean

Cons:

The room really needed a mini fridge to keep drinks cold. So annoying not having that so we could have something cold to drink. The restaurant/bar wasn't always open. We were sooo thirsty the first night with no options for drinks and nothing open. It would've been nice to have a couple chairs to sit outside our room on the balcony to enjoy the view and outdoors. We kept bringing the room chairs out to sit because it was sooo nice

A nice site to go back
Pros:

First we could say the location which is in a nice place but the owner Eulilio and the staff have to be in front about what we liked. Kind and attentive, ready to satisfy you as well, thanks to them this stay in Aurora inn made it better again added to the site itself which is already a good point. We appreciated also the breakfast typical and adapted also to our expectations. Thank again to them.

Cons:

Difficult to be critical as we have been satisfied on the main aspects. We really have no important things to say.
