Belle découverte à Palo Seco
Pros:

Accueil chaleureux de Karine et Brice. Bonne cuisine à base de poisson (et quelques spécialités françaises pour ceux qui auraient le mal du pays). Lit très confortable et salle de bain impeccable

Idéal pour un dépaysement et le contact avec la nature
Pros:

Nous avons passé un séjour merveilleux à l'hôtel Océképala. Brice et Carine, un couple de Français incroyablement accueillants, ont tout fait pour que nous nous sentions chez nous. Ils connaissent la région comme leur poche et sont de très bon conseil pour les sorties, ce qui nous a permis de découvrir les environs sous leur meilleur jour.

Côté cuisine, nous nous sommes régalés : les plats à base de poisson sont frais, sains et vraiment goûteux. La chambre était très confortable, idéale pour se reposer. Une adresse que nous recommandons sans hésiter ! Un accueil francophone de qualité qui fait toute la différence. Merci encore !

Freundliche, familiäre Unterkunft zum Wohlfühlen
Pros:

Das Familienzimmer ist sehr groß und geräumig, Kühlschrank und Kaffeemaschine auf dem Zimmer sorgen für Annehmlichkeiten, der Sitzbereich vor den Zimmern ist groß und gemütlich. Die Besitzer sind sehr freundlich und die Küche ist ausgezeichnet.

Cons:

Der dorfeigene Strand ist leider sehr mit Müll verschmutzt und man muss etwas weiter weg fahren für einen hübschen sauberen Strand.

I wouldn't come back
Pros:

-Relatively quiet place.
-Air conditioning.
-Mini fridge.
-No TV.
-Everything was clean.

Cons:

-Very small room.
-Very poor cost-benefit ratio, there are more attractive places at a better price.
-Although it's facing the sea, I don't recommend swimming at the beach near the port, as the water doesn't look clean because of oil of the fishing boats.
-Cold welcome from the host.
-I didn't see any tourist activities nearby.
-The place has a strange vibe, honestly, I wouldn't come back.
