Gilbert and his wife were amazing hosts. They did everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The location is very silent and right next to nature with spider monkeys and macaws in the trees.

Perfect beach front location, lovely staff. Green macaws and monkeys visit the garden and other birds. When they drop the fruit stones on the roof it's Very loud!

Nice location but the rude staff member ruined it for me - I wouldn't stay there again.

The location was the other side of the island to where the boat arrived. The hotel was supposed to have someone there to meet us and guide us to the hotel but they didn't bother. The boat company drew me a map and I worked out my own way to get there. The actual location is quite nice - surrounded by forest and next to the beach so you can hear the surf quite loudly. The naturalist guide they employ - Byron - was great. Very friendly and knowledgable about the wildlife of the area; I enjoyed the walks I did with him.

Could do with some improvements

The hotel is located literally 20 meters away from the beach and surrounded by plants, trees and wildlife. Nice sitting area. Host was friendly and helpful although does not speak any english. Good value for money.

Overall okay but did not meet my needs - being able to cook, having. A place to sit outside my room.

Lovely setting. Rooms facing the beach looked great with a balcony or verandah in front to hang out, complete with table and chairs and hammocks. The rooms at the back not so good. Beds comfortable. Rooms spacious.

The best thing about our stay was the way we were welcomed and cared for. Many thanks to Dalila and Don Antonio (I believe its his name). And the bowl of fruit for breakfast was delicious and just what I expected

Good acommodation,very nice staff. The rooms are not the nicests, but for the price they are very much ok. Feels rather private and secluded, but safe. Macaws in the garden (nearly?) daily.

I loved my stay in this accommodation, for me it was perfect...close to the beach, the ocean was hearable, the monkey in the garden and the national park just attached. I was alone and Roberto took really good care...it was very clean and if there was anything i missed he helped me out! Thank!!

Having stayed in other hostels, this one was very damp, I had several animals in my room and the hot water didn't work.
