Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a cozy atmosphere with clean and comfortable rooms. The staff is friendly and attentive. However, the dining options could be improved. The location is vibrant and relaxing, perfect for unwinding. Overall, good value for money.
The hotel had a cozy communal atmosphere, perfect for relaxing, with easy access to the waterfall and national park. The rooms, while small, were clean and had a rustic charm. The service was exceptional, with helpful staff like Miguel and his wife. The dining options were average, but the fresh and delicious dishes stood out.
I had a mixed experience at the hostel. The location was great for exploring the surroundings, with plenty of cozy spots to relax, but the distance from the beach made for a challenging walk. The rooms, while cozy, suffered from noise in the mornings and lack of natural light. The service was warm and welcoming, with helpful staff, although pricing information needed updating. The dining experience was tasty, but limited in options. Overall, a colorful and relaxed place to hang out, with some room for improvement.
