Entspannter Aufenthalt ab vom Trubel
Pros:

Ruhige Lage außerhalb von Santa Catalina. Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis für diese Gegend. Wir hatten zwei Nächte in Bungalows mit Bad (wir mussten einmal wechseln). Die Zimmer waren sehr geräumig, sauber und gut ausgestattet. Klimaanlage und Ventilator funktionierten sehr gut, Dusche mit viel Druck (kalt). Pool wurde täglich gereinigt, Liegen mit/ohne Schatten und netter Restaurantbereich. Essen war ok, preislich sehr in Ordnung. Aktuell wird Yoga angeboten.

Decepcionante y mas cuando se compara con otros hospedajes al mismo precio.
Pros:

Personal muy amable, que trató todo el tiempo de ayudarnos a pasarla bien, Las sábanas y toallas estaban muy limpias es lo único que nos gustó de este hospedaje.

Cons:

podría enumerar:
1- Muy mal wiFi, tuvimos que conectar y reconectar para lograr algo de señal.
2- La habitación no era por nada parecida a lo que pusieron en las fotos.
3- No se podía usar el Aire Acondicionado, el ruido era perturbador y molestaba incluso a los huéspedes de otras habitaciones.
4- No hubo intento, por parte del personal del hotel, de limpiar las habitaciones, estuvimos allí tres días y nadie se acercó para la limpieza ni siquiera para retirar basura
5- La condición del baño fue mala, no han dado mantenimiento en mucho tiempo, piso de la ducha pintado en muy mal estado, lavamanos con filtración de agua por la tubería que estaba expuesta en la parte inferior (un hueco en la pared que deja ver las tuberías).
6- Piscina de agua salada con un aspecto muy turbio, no apetece bañarse en ella.
7- Huéspedes que estuvieron en el área de piscina que dejaron la basura de lo que habían consumido en el piso y alrededor de la misma piscina.
8- Edificios y cabañas que se veían en mal estado, cero mantenimientos, aspecto triste y de abandono total
9- Acceso al Hotel, calle de gravilla y mal estado.
10- El generador de electricidad o algo similar, se encendía tipo 3:00 am y el ruido es impresionante, tanto que te despierta y casi imposible conciliar el sueño durante la hora que permanece encendido.
11- Estuvimos en las habitaciones Mar 1 y 2.
12. Visitamos el Hotel Oasis, habitaciones de precio similar por pareja, diferencia abismal en cuanto a mantenimiento, servicio, limpieza en general, instalaciones bien cuidadas y personal de mantenimiento super enfocado, no nos cambiamos porque ya nos habían cobrado el importe total en Hibiscus.

Pros:

Super endroit, sauvage en pleine nature.
Le personnel est très agreable et aux petits soins, il suffit de demander.
Attention, l'hôtel est tres excentré et on ne peut pas rejoindre Santa catalina à pieds. Il faut demander qu'on nous emméne pour une somme modique. L'idéal c'est de venir en voiture. Nous avons beaucoup aimé et nous avons passé 7 nuits au lieu de 5 prevues

Pros:

Fantastische ligging midden in de natuur. Zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Ook de eigenaar zet zich voor alles in, zoals plaatselijke investeringen. Hij regelde een vistrip voor ons en haalde ons netjes op. Lekker gegeten in het restaurant. De sfeer en het personeel voelde goed en relaxed. We zouden zo weer terug komen!

Highly recommend this place. It attracts people who love nature and feels like everyone cares lots.
Pros:

The owner and his time went out of their way to cook vegan food for us and make us feel like we belong. The location is far from Santa Catalina which made it more quiet, beautiful nature and amazing salt water pool.

Prefetto per una coppia.
Pros:

La pace, il relax, la cortesia, la camera spaziosa, il giardino.
È possibile ammirare l'alba davanti al mare

Cons:

Il mare non è come me lo aspettavo: impossibile fare il bagno.
Senza auto non è consigliabile per la distanza da santa Catalina, ma la struttura offre un servizio privato a 5$ a: corsa a persona

Beautiful & peaceful getaway located on the beach with superb staff.
Pros:

The staff is phenomenal, shout out to Christopher (chef) who was very kind by offering to prepare very early breakfast for me as I had early commitments during my stay. The property is located in a peaceful and serene spot on the beach, perfect to rest and relax. The facilities are clean and functional.

Cons:

The rooms are very basic, the AC was super loud which made it impossible to sleep even with ear plugs. Unfortunately turning off the AC wasn't an option given the temperatures. One morning there was no water due to some plumbing issue and I found multiple cockroaches throughout my stay. Nothing I couldn't handle but not having slept well throughout my stay was not great.

Parenthèse sauvage
Pros:

Le lieu est sauvage et les chambres sont simples mais agréable.
La piscine est grande et chaude.
Le poisson frit est très bon mais il faut être patient.

Cons:

Le service est très très long...pour dîner compter en moyenne 45 minutes et 30 pour le petit dejeuner.
Rien de grave mais à savoir.

Séjour paisible et ressourçant dans un cadre incroyable et un staff formidable
Pros:

Le cadre magnifique, la piscine, les hamacs, transats ; l’accueil, le cours de yoga, la disponibilité et la gentillesse du personnel; l’accès à la plage et ses magnifiques levés de soleil. Bref tout était parfait ! Merci beaucoup pour ce magnifique séjour !

Cons:

De n’avoir découvert le bar à cocktail à l’étage du restaurant que le dernier jour. Il mériterait d’être signalé et d’avoir accès à la carte des cocktails
