10/10 for el pulpo. Lovely couple who made us coffee when the electricity pole fell down and we were unable to use the communal facilities. It was quiet when we were there. Lots of restaurants nearby. Would recommend car access. Very hot shower, it was excellent. Tents were well kept, clean and equipped with a fan.

Lovely place!

El Pulpo is a really nice place in nature with a lot of birds (tucans!) and monkeys around. The tents are very comfortable, spacious and modern. Loved the things they custom made, like the very handy closet. The area is very green and calm, but restaurants and the supermarket are still nearby. The owners are lovely and very helpful as well!

Tent in jungle experience!

The tent itself, which felt also very safe, in the middle of the forest, a cute swimming pool, good atmosphere, you hear a lot of jungle sounds like from birds, frogs, etc. We saw a Tucan and howler monkeys.

The tents are well designed and does not feel that you're in one since all the facilities such as kitchen, toilet and a shower are modern aswell as comfy bed which overall exceeded my expectation. Surrounded by nature and with a view to the mountain, morning coffee and chilling in the hammock was a bliss. The hosts were also very helpful and friendly. In general nice place to stay.

Friendly, accommodating hosts who spoke good English. The glam camping experience. Being close to nature. The quietness and the stars. The kitchenette had everything you needed to prepare basic meals. The tent was well designed with lots of shelving for storage. The ceiling fan on the porch was great. Given the heat, the cool water shower was a welcome respite, as was the pool. Laundry facilities on-site.

Location and settings are great, immersed in nature, you can the sounds of the forests at night. Close to hikes to waterfalls and to playa tortugas. The owners have also been very kind and helpful.
