How guests rate the property, aspect by aspect.
The property sat in a great spot, the rooms were clean and well kept, and the staff were warm, friendly, and helpful; the rooms were spacious, comfortable, and offered excellent value for the price. However, the shared kitchenette often ran low on water and dish soap, and the bedroom dresser was in poor condition.

The location was perfect, right near everything; Grecia, Alexandra, and Jorge were fantastic and could secure great prices for ferries, tours, and transfers. The room and bathroom were very roomy.

We stayed in a room that had either a twin and a double or a queen, and it was huge with plenty of free floor space. The polished wood details, rounded arched doors, and high wood ceilings were beautiful. The family‑owned property, with another family nearby, was kind, friendly, and helpful, and everything was very clean and quiet. Flamingos were right next door, and the town was just a five‑minute walk away.

The property sits on the edge of the main street opposite the pier, with several eateries within walking distance, and it’s near the town’s end toward the national park. I booked a quadruple room advertised as two kings and two twins, but when I arrived the room didn’t exist and I was forced into two separate rooms. The replacement room had a patio door that wouldn’t close or lock, exposing us to heat, bugs, and a lack of security; the wrap‑around patio made it easy for anyone to enter. When I raised the issue the staff promised a fix the next day, but it never happened and they said the parts were coming from the mainland and it wasn’t possible. I asked for a dowel rod to keep the door closed, and only on our last day did they do the work. After we settled the bill, the staff denied us access to the purified water that was normally available on site, insisting we had to buy it, and they became rude, unfriendly, and almost pushed us out the door on the morning of our departure, refusing to hold our luggage. I felt unsafe leaving my belongings with them, and their behavior was questionable.

It was very ugly. It was damp, a bit dirty, and the service was poor. The place smelled strongly of mildew, there was noise, and the lady owed us five dollars and then claimed she had already given it.
