Pros:

The location of this hotel is absolutely perfect! It is just a short walk from the beautiful waterfront and the beach, making it very convenient to explore the area and enjoy the surroundings.

The staff is very friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist with any requests. The service was warm and welcoming throughout my stay.

The breakfasts are delicious, a lovely way to start the day.

I truly enjoyed my stay here and would happily recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great location, excellent service, and a comfortable atmosphere.

Cons:

The only small downside was that the bed was a little too firm for my preference, and the pillows were not very comfortable. However, this was a minor issue, and overall, my experience was excellent.

A bit dilapidated and new construction all around
Pros:

Lala was on site and very helpful with booking tours. Eduardo, owner helped me get back to the airport. The lobby and dining room were acceptable.
Breakfast was pretty basic scrambled eggs bread coffee and fresh squeezed juice.
Close to Carola and Mann Beach.

Cons:

The actual rooms left a lot to be desired. I was in room nine which is older had ants linens that were not very clean and shower fixtures that definitely needed updating and a fresh paint job. I actually stayed at another property for two days within my stay here and my room was never cleaned while I was gone. Trash wasn't emptied? sheets weren't changed , bed wasn't made. I was very very disappointed at that.

There appears to be a focus on the new construction going on which was noisy and the existing rooms got no attention at all.

Not recommend at all
Pros:

Only the location

Cons:

The place looks like a construction site - half of the building is demolished and the other half is still standing. It is not clean at all; there is sand in the shower and ants everywhere. The worst part is that there is no hot water. When we contacted the owner, he mostly ignored our concerns and claimed that there was hot water and that we had simply used it all up. The price is far too high for conditions that are comparable to a very poor hostel. I would not recommend staying here.

Pros:

La ubicación es excelente y el alojamiento es funcional. El tamaño de las habitaciones es adecuado.

Cons:

El hotel cumple con el mínimo y se encontraba en obras. Sería bueno tener certeza sobre el valor final antes de llegar a la reserva y los impuestos aplicables.

Under construction and the service is bad and lazy - everything is for the owners convenience.
Pros:

The location is great and filtered water in the common area to fill up your water bottle.

Cons:

When we arrived the hotel was under construction and the bathroom was dirty. The bathroom is not properly sealed so there are bugs and black dirt came out of the shower whenever first used. The location is great so perhaps this could be make up for it, however, the owner is lazy and everything about this hotel is for his convenience. Breakfast finishes early when he needs to go somewhere so he’ll leave it out cold for you. The owner will tell you not to use the aircon for long or change the settings. The hotel is currently under construction which is not mentioned. The owner will make up the surcharge on the spot for paying by card for your stay so you’ll need to get cash out to pay for accomodation. Overall, the quality of service does not make up for the rundown state and current construction of the hotel.

Really enjoyed my stay.
Pros:

At first I was a bit taken back by the renovation work taking place but it did not impact my stay at all. My room was a great size , loved I could relax in the hammock and get hot water for my morning coffee all day! Free clean water available to top up my bottle and I slept so well as bed was really comfortable. Quiet and a good breakfast. Value for money and owner was very helpful. Great air con.

Cons:

Despite the middle of property doing renovations, no work was taking place during my 8 day stay.
