“An enjoyable stay.”
Milanca was very friendly and helpful providing local information and helped me with monitoring the boat I would need to catch. She also provided me the transfer from the airport. It is quiet and affordable. It was a comfortable place in case the boat was cancelled. Eventually I left around 11:30pm to catch the boat. It was very nice to have a nice shower and rest before it. All is very safe with codes to access the property.

“Colourful stay in the fishing village”
Good location as we didn't want to stay in the city. Simple and cosy. Bus station, shop and restaurant were near. Very helpful owner. We could see local people every day life, which was so different.

“Highly recommendable, like being at home”
Lovely, quiet rooms, very nicely decorated and comfortable. There was complimentary water and a kettle with tea bags. The bathroom was comfortable, with hot shower. There was a ceiling fan, no air conditioning, but I understood some rooms have it and I didn’t need it at the time. The location is good, close to the airport and in the centre of Palmira, walking distance from the harbour. The price is very good.

“Excellent stay on the fish village!”
La Vela is a wonderful, nice and comfortable place to stay and relax. It’s quiet also. Bathroom was big enough, beautiful and very well functioning. Milanka was very helpful and friendly. She spoke excellent english. We highly recommend!

Perfect location and extremely warm welcome. We loved the north side of the island much more than the south (much less 'resort tourism' and more real) and the stay at La Vela was perfect.

Everything. I had a problem seeing the video and photos that I needed in order to access the key box. I was able to phone the owner and get it sorted. I had a wonderful time.
