Categories

Cleanliness
1
Mixed comments: some guests praised cleanliness, but serious issues mentioned (oily floors that stained clothing, and outdoor burning of trash) lead to an overall negative cleanliness impression.
Service
1
Generally positive: multiple reviews praise attentive, kind staff and good service, though a few mentions of limited help with small in-room issues (TV remote, extra pillows, hair dryer).
Location
1
Very strong lagoon location and views, direct lake access and peaceful setting; slightly penalized for being far from town and having a rough access road/parking constraints.
Room Quality
1
Mixed: rooms and cabins described as cosy with great views and balconies, but some problems reported (missing extra pillows, broken TV remote, occasional missing hair dryer) yielding a neutral overall rating.
Amenities
1
Positive amenities such as kayaks, pontoon access and included breakfast are praised; however limited/insufficient sunbeds (and lack of cushions) and proximity issues reduce the score slightly.
Value for Money
1
Several guests explicitly called the property overpriced and not up to luxury-standard expectations; value-for-money is a clear negative point.
Food and Beverage
1
Breakfast described as copious and fresh (fresh juice mentioned) and generally well regarded by guests.
Overall Experience
1
Overall a positive stay for many (beautiful setting, tranquil, family-friendly activities), but notable negatives (value, some cleanliness issues, access) moderate the final experience.

Pros:

Es muy bello que está sobre la laguna, su muelle bonito y cómodo ,las cabañas bonitas , está un poco lejos del centro pero en la administración nos ayudaban llamando a los taxis , los alimentos del desayuno muy sabrosos y se puede nadar en la laguna con seguridad ya que te prestan chalecos salvavidas , también te prestan kayaks incluidos en el precio de la habitación

Cons:

Quizá podrían mejorar un poco la limpieza de la habitación, aunque no es mala podrían mejorar

Pros:

The view of the lagoon and the wooden cabañas. Its clean

Cons:

Not enough staff or parking. You need to be going up and down a lots of stairs to get what you need. Need to me moving cars whenever someone else needs to exit. The access to the lagoon is rocky and slippery. And the stairs to reach the lagoon are a bit unstable.

Pros:

La localización

Cons:

La cama tiembla y mucho cuando el aire acondicionado esta encendido. Éramos dos personas, y solo había una silla en la terraza para desayunar. Nos habría gustado que el desayuno pudiera ser más temprano para poder empezar nuestro día antes.

Very comfortable stay!
Pros:

The bed was huge and extremely comfortable. Shower was great! Good pressure and nice hot water with many towels supplied! The aircon worked very well as did the WiFi. The small kitchenette was very handy. Balcony with hammock was nice to have also! The dock and swimming area, along with kayaks were perfect. Really good breakfast! Friendly staff! Great stay as long as you are happy to taxi to town (80 pesos)

Cons:

Floors were thin so we could hear everything upstairs guests were doing. Luckily everyone was quiet by 11pm ish, so it was really no problem at all.
The floors were heavily oiled, but we asked the have the floors wiped down and that helped a lot!
We wished there was a suitcase stand in the room.

Good for those on a budget but we will not return.
Pros:

The bed was very comfortable. The deck over the water was nice. The staff was very nice and responsive.

Cons:

There was a generator noise throughout the night making sleep difficult. This may have been coming from the property next door. There were no coffee cups in the room even though there was a coffee maker (.was left with coffee grounds in it). The mini fridge was unplugged so we couldn't keep our bottled waters cold as it took several hours to cool down. i got avocado toast for breakfast which was disappointing. The bread was stale and very hard. The side of fruit was mostly old with only a few edible pieces.

Pros:

It’s directly by the lagoon

Cons:

Some houses has second floor and it’s wooden screechy if anyone lives upstairs. Wasn’t possible to sleep. We asked to change for free rooms without neighbors and in the beginning we were asked for extra fees but after some arguments and etc we were changed for a calmer house. Anyway we were already upset by communication and lost of time.
Be aware that if your room is downstairs you will hear absolutely everything from upstairs. If no neighbors it’s great but not guaranteed.

Buon posto, forse non il massimo per la somma pagata
Pros:

In generale un buon B&B. Bellissima vista sulla laguna direttamente dalla camera

Cons:

L'accesso alla laguna come le scalette possono essere migliorate. I pochi lettini disponibili, 4 di nuomero, non hanno il materassino quindi sono inutilizzabili perchè è come sdraiarsi sul pavimento in legno... davvero scomodo
