Pros:

Le lieu est très beau, et a vraiment tous les caractéristiques du Beach club un peu chic. Mais justement il en a aussi les prix.

Cons:

L’utilisant, les chambres étaient vraiment trop importante. Il laissait la clim non-stop donc le froid ne permettait pas de limiter l’humidité et vraiment il y avait une odeur inconfortable dans la chambre. Pour un Hostel, je trouve que 12 $ le petit déjeuner c’est vraiment abusé… pareil pour pouvoir manger le midi ou le soir. Les prix sont assez chers, sachant qu’il n’y a pas grand chose autour si vous êtes à pied.

Scammed!!!
Cons:

I honestly am very upset! I contact the property ahead of time to schedule transfer/transportation to the hostel. They suggestion a company that I booked and then eventually didn’t use because of miss communication on their end. The lady at the front desk stated I would be getting a refund and even ask for my banking information. 4 weeks later no refund and no response to my countless emails! They scammed me out of hundreds of dollars. I’m pissed and will never stay with them again. I also will tell everyone I know.

Pros:

Bellissimo il paesaggio, camera stupenda, tutto in mezzo agli alberi e le palme, ragazzi bravissimi tutti super disponibili

Cons:

Colazione, dovrebbe essere un po più mista, anche magari con croissant, toast semplici, e il caffè espresso se siete italiani non è incluso!

Estancia tranquila
Pros:

Me gustó mucho la habitación, un lugar tranquilo y sin ruido, me gustó la tranquilidad del lugar. Me encanta su muelle, la música, su playa y la gente amable.

Cons:

El servicio del desayuno es muy poco y el café es muy pequeño deberían de tener la opción de capuchino, el servicio de desayuno no es bueno ha perdido la calidad con el tiempo, viajo cada 6 meses ahí me hospedó y el servicio ha bajado la calidad y cantidad.

Pros:

- right at the beach
- enough (!) sunbeds, shade, umbrellas etc.
- also a cute pool!
- all staff was super friendl and helpful, shoutout to Miguel in particular
- if you‘re in the dorm: AC all day long, two bathrooms and toilets, just a reall good dorm experience

Cons:

- music was just a bit too loud in the beachclub to really relax. Turn it down a bit for a perfect chill atmosphere!
- not in the center, and not much around so you either take a taxi everytime you go out or just stay. Luckily it‘s nice enough to just stay there for a few days ;)
- the cooking classes were good but the other activities were very loveless or didn‘t even take place
- food was okay, but not great. Especially breakfast was often a very small portion

Paradise
Pros:

Beautiful accommodation and one of the nicest hostel dorms I have ever stayed in (and I have stayed in a lot!). Great place to relax and unwind, especially in the mornings. Friendly staff. Generally the place is great value for money.

Cons:

The music at the bar is really loud, and the playlist very repetitive. People are trying to chill, read a book, have a nap - it's not ideal to have thumping bass. A few people asked for it to be turned down.

Cons:

Just a friendly heads-up: when we checked out, reception asked for an extra fee over £30 for the couple of nights, but they did not mention it when we checked in. We declined and asked the booking team to look into it. Please keep an eye out!

Also, we have noticed that all staff members are writing down extra fees and tips by hand on the receipt and asking for them at the end.


If you are hoping to swim in the sea, you might find it a bit uncomfortable after about five to seven minutes from the shoot. The water plants are quite thick, and it is the same along the whole beach. You could maybe wade in up to your waist, but it might not be the most enjoyable experience.

¡Tenemos un nuevo lugar favorito para hospedarnos en Isla!
Pros:

Excelente atención por parte de las recepcionistas en especial la caraqueña que está en el día, la gerente y los meseros del beach club del turno de día. Creo que se llama Kevin el chico que nos atendió en el beach club y estuvo súper atento en todo, nos gustó nuestra habitación, muy privada, cero ruidos, el masaje en la playa un poco caro pero estuvo súper deli, definitivamente si volveríamos sin pensarlo. Tienen varios comentarios malos que nos hicieron dudar pero decidimos arriesgarnos, vivir nuestra propia experiencia y nos fue súper bien!! Precioso lugar para ver el atardecer y nos tocó lunada también 😍

Cons:

Dos veces me despertó no sé si era un huésped o estaban haciendo limpieza en la habitación de arriba y rodaban cosas a eso de las 10:30am. La atención del mesero del beach club en la noche, parecía que no estábamos ahí, nunca llegó a ofrecernos nada. Todo lo contrario al del turno anterior. Las paletas de la recepción, un poco elevados esos precios!

Pros:

Kaunis paikka rannalla.

Cons:

Osa henkilökunnasta oli töykeitä. Rannalla soi kovaa musiikki ja basso oli kovalla lähes aamusta ilmaan niin, että se kuului koko hostellin alueelle. Alueelta ei sen takia löytynyt rauhallista paikkaa, minkä takia lähdin sieltä päivää aikaisemmin. Lisäksi aamiaiseen kuului vain yksi asia.
