Pros:

Der Hotel Manager Gino ist sehr um das Wohl der Gäste besorgt. Er hat uns ein unvergessliches Abenteuer zur Isla Coiba organisiert, welches noch lange in Erinnerung bleiben wird.
Das Zimmer war sehr simpel eingerichtet, besticht jedoch mit einer traumhaften Aussicht auf die umliegende Natur.
Das Frühstück war sehr lecker mit frisch gemachtem Fruchtsaft. Glutenfreie Ernährung mit Zöliakie war immer möglich.

Cons:

Nichts.

Pros:

Swimming pool and restaurant at top of property have excellent views of the ocean and not too busy. Prices of food and drinks are reasonnable by comparison to other rrstaurants in Santa Catalina. Rooms are comfortable and clean.

Cons:

Prepare to have to climb a lot of stairs to access your room.

Super
Pros:

Le gérant Gino a été super. Il a été d'une générosité sans faille.
Le petit-déjeuner était correct, jus de fruits, fruits, des oeufs, etc. cependant, pas très varié.
La chambre était très grande.

Cons:

L'hostel est a 15 minutes de marche du "centre". Pas de transports publics.
La propreté était à revoir parfois...

Wahnsinnig Gastfreundlich
Pros:

Gino, der Besitzer, ist sehr freundlich und erfüllt dir fast jeden Wunsch. Er ist jederzeit für Fragen oder zur Hilfe bereit. An einem Tag sind wir früh los zum Tauchen und dann hat er uns extra früher Frühstück gemacht. Das Zimmer hat alles was man braucht und ist sehr gross und geräumig. Klimaanlage funktioniert einwandfrei. Der Pool ist sauber und es gibt Pooltücher. Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

Cons:

Das Hotel befindet sich am Ortseingang, weshalb man ins Zentrum immer 10-15 min laufen muss, dafür ist die Aussicht vom Pool toll.

À refaire sans hésiter
Pros:

L’emplacement est génial pour accéder aux Excursion .
L’hôtel en propose aussi .
Encore merci à Gino pour son accueil, son sourire .

Cons:

Pas grand-chose, sauf que la plage qui a plus bas et peut-être un peu crado, je conseille la plage qu’il y a sur la gauche qui est juste magique.

Heerlijk verblijf in Santa Catalina.
Pros:

Ruime kamers met goede bedden en leuk terrasje met hangmat. Het zwembad is heerlijk om te verkoelen na een uitstap. Zeer vriendelijke gastheer. Mooi zicht aan het zwembad. Lekker ontbijt met vers sap en fruit.

Cons:

De trappen waren best zwaar om te doen, zeker als je met je bagage aankomt. Maar ik ben ervan overtuigd dat als de eigenaar aanwezig is bij aankomst, hij je bagage met de 4x4 naar boven rijdt.

Excellent
Pros:

L'emplacement est ideal, a 10min a pied de la plage et tous les restaurants, avec une magnifique vue depuis la piscine. L'accueil etait extremement chaleureux, le proprietaire etait genial. Prenez l'excursion qu'il propose, c'est incroyable et meme tarif que les autres en tout petit groupe. Petit dejeuner frais excellent, il faut etre patient parcontre

Cons:

La montee pour amener la voiture au logement, elle s'est retrouvee dans le fossee en pleine pente, heureusement que le proprietaire a repris le volant pour nous aider

Amazing views!
Pros:

Loved the view from the room and from the central pool and hotel restaurant/bar. The rooms are built into the side of a steep hill. Someone was waiting for us on arrival to get our bags to our door and drive us up. Location is close to everything (within 1 mile). Staff are lovely. Place is peaceful and beautiful. Hot shower. AC'd room. Loved staying here! We wanted to do a couple of tours, but hadn't booked anything and Gino was amazing in helping set those up for us!

Cons:

The stairs def give you a good indication of whether you are out of shape or not. I am out of shape!
