Niedziałające WiFi w pokoju, przeciekający dach, basen pełen liści. Na plus pyszne śniadania (ale małe), świeże ręczniki
Pros:

Pyszne śniadania, ale małe porcje. Przeróżne zwierzątka odwiedzające obiekt.

Cons:

Żadna z sieci WiFi nie działała w pokoju. Pierwszego dnia zgłosiliśmy przeciekający dach i nic w tej kwestii nie zostało zrobione. W basenie pełno liści.

Insects.
Pros:

Staff and free breakfast was fantastic

Cons:

They left the doors open at the room and it was full of mosquitoes. I did not have a spray to kill all the insects and I had many bites.

Gran ubicación, solo un pequeño detalle
Pros:

Casa Merlin está a 5 minutos de la mejor playa de la zona, así que por ese lado excelente.
El desayuno delicioso y la señora de la cocina sumamente amable y servicial.
No puedo decir algo negativo del lugar pero si puedo sugerir que el portón sea eléctrico ya que puerto viejo tiene un clima impredecible y es muy feo bajarse a abrir o cerrar el portón bajo el aguacero.

Cons:

Pros:

El lugar está en perfectas condiciones, es cómodo y seguro. La ubicación es muy buena a unos metros de Playa Chiquita. El desayuno vale la pena. El personal está pendiente y es muy amable. Pudimos dejar guardado el equipaje mientras esperábamos el cheking. La habitación tenía todo lo necesario para nuestra estancia.
