Categories

Cleanliness
1
Multiple reviews report serious cleanliness problems (fleas, dirty rooms, cobwebs, bathrooms smelling of sewage) despite some mentions of clean facilities — overall strongly negative.
Service
1
Service repeatedly described as attentive and friendly (staff and specifically Maribel praised) though one review noted nonchalant staff; overall service is a clear strength.
Location
1
Location is frequently praised (beachfront, close to restaurants/transport, great sunsets) but noted as noisy at night in some reviews.
Room Quality
1
Rooms described as worn, spartan or old, slow to cool and difficult to access with luggage (many stairs); some mentions of comfortable/beautiful installations but room condition trends negative.
Amenities
1
Pool, palm-surrounded grounds and ability to use facilities after checkout are positives; however missing in-room fridge and a basic restaurant menu limit the score.
Value for Money
1
Mixed mentions — some say it's worth it, others warn you can find better for the same cost; restaurant price vs. menu criticized, lowering perceived value.
Food and Beverage
1
Restaurant and included breakfast are praised in several reviews as good/tasty, although the menu is described as basic for the price in one review.
Overall Experience
1
Overall experiences vary from wonderful beach-hotel stays to a severe negative stay with cleanliness issues; aggregate sentiment is slightly negative given the serious cleanliness complaint.

Teepe excelente si vas a estar todo el día afuera.
Pros:

Lugar acogedor, tranquilo, justo a la entrada de toda Zicatela. Se mantiene en distancia con bares y restaurantes. Y su acceso es fácil. Increíble vista al despertar.

Cons:

Me hospede en un "Teepe". Por el precio estuvo bien. Si piensas en esa opción considera que el espacio es pequeño y limitado dentro de ese cuarto.
Podría mejorar que la cama estuviera más al fondo, las entradas de luz no son nada accesibles, tener cortinas para la entrada de luz en las mañanas. Barren justo atrás del cuarto a las 6:30am y se siente como si estuvieran por dentro (ah! Y también hay un gallo en la propiedad de a lado que te hará madrugar...)

It was okay. No one really there, Nothing special.
Pros:

The rooms are quite clean and fresh beds. Co working space has air con and large.

Cons:

I didnt like the bathrooms. They are very uncomfortable to use for the mixed dorms. Onr bathroom for everyone and majoirity of the toilets dont have seats on them. The showers dont have anywhere to play or hold your things. It was just an uncomfortable experience to use them.

Also half of the lockers in my room had broken latches, so you couldnt lock everyone. It was fine because the room was empty, but it would be annoying if it was a full dorm.

Vibe wasn't the best for a solo traveller.

Incomoda la estancia
Pros:

El servicio de restaurante si me pareció completo, buen menù, buen precio

Cons:

para subir a las habitaciones debes subir a pie 79 escalones, en pleno sol y con equipaje, es una locura! No hay elevador, respecto a las camas, la primer noche no tuve sabana para taparme y con aire acondicionado pasé mucho frío
