Caro para lo que es
Pros:

La mujer que lo lleva fue muy agradable y dispuesta a responder a lo que necesitábamos.

Cons:

La habitación, al estar cerca de la naturaleza, tenía bichos porque no estaba bien aislada, las paredes tenían grietas, las ventanas agujeros y la puerta estaba en alto.
Estaba en general en muy mal estado para el precio que tenía, siendo temporada baja.
La localización tampoco era muy agradable.

Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist sehr passend, wenn man zuvor die Fähre genommen hat. Man ist umgeben von Tieren und Pflanzen, was es sehr gemütlich macht.

Pros:

Being very close to nature, a parrot was waiting for us at our wakening.
Also the bioluminescent tour on the kayak was absolutely beautiful.
Also the owners are incredibly kind, and they do all they can to make your stay unforgettable.

Escale à Paquera
Pros:

Le lieu a vraiment été conçu avec beaucoup de soin. C'est très joli et vraiment très bien décoré.
La cuisine commune est fonctionnelle et les petits espaces pour se poser ou manger sont agréables.
Le lieu est calme la nuit et un peu à l'écart du bruit de la route et de la ville.

Cons:

Malheureusement les toits en tôle et l'absence de climatisation font que la chambre, même bien aérée et même avec le ventilateur est une vraie fournaise...difficile de dormir correctement et donc de se reposer. C'est dommage.
Aussi la chambre est vraiment très petite pour 3 personnes.
La note de 7 sur 10 car le prix est donc trop élevé pour ce manque de confort.

Pros:

Très belle chambre, rustique. Avec beaucoup d’oiseaux (Ara et autres). Très propre. La toilette et la douche sont bien.

Cons:

La propriétaire n’était pas très accueillante, malgré qu’elle soit très poli. Nous n’avons pas pu commander le petit déjeuner car elle semblait pas bien. Paiement en argent comptant seulement.

Pros:

Bella ed ampia area comune. Letti comodi. Bagni in comune pulitissimi. Colazione stupenda.
Le camere sono piccole ed essenziali, ideali per chi passa tanto tempo all'aria aperta e usa il letto solo per dormire. La posizione è ottima per chi viaggia in auto e c'è anche il parcheggio.

Cons:

Non c'è l'aria condizionata, noi abbiamo dormito lo stesso, ma per alcuni potrebbe essere piuttosto afoso
