Everything the location was great. The place was super beautiful. The pictures dont do it justice. The place was amazing. You could chill out there all day if you wanted the host. It was exceptional, very helpful, and the staff were amazing

“We would definitely come back to Felix Lion, we loved everything about it!”
Breakfast was delicious, fresh and accommodating to our needs. Coffee was delicious and refills welcomed. Our family of four stayed for 6 days, we enjoyed the town of Palamino, while a couple days we just hung out pool side. Hernan and the ladies helping with cleaning and cooking we always friendly, empathetic, and helpful with any of our questions. We felt right at home.

“Beautiful hidden gem for a peaceful stay”
Spacious clean rooms, lovely pool, great breakfast and the owner is very kind and helpful. The location is on the Main Street but slightly further back from the beach and bars, making it feel like a peaceful little oasis.

“Lovely little hotel”
Enjoyed my stay so much I extended it. Lovely little hotel run by German (fluent English speaker,) Sophie, and Carol . I had room no. 3 upstairs, so it was very private. Nice pool for an afternoon dip. My room was cleaned every day without me having to ask for it. It s about 10-15 mins walk to the beach down a lane full of shops and restaurants.
