Basic room, no frills. The room has a kitchen; but no stove, no fridge, no pots, no dishes, no cutlery. Clean room. Breakfast is included and is okay. Service could be better. The one drink rule seems silly: If one has orange juice, one cannot have coffee.

No estuvo tan mal, algunas cosas que deben mejorar y si las mejoras ojalá las publiquen: 1. Habitación 6 cae una gotera encima de una cama. 2. Habitación 9 tenía olor a perro, quizá algún cliente metió un perro sin autorización de la administración. 3. Alimentación: Al ser las 3:00pm cuando uno como cliente acostumbra a beber café a esa hora, llegamos al restaurante a pedir que nos vendan café y nos dicen que a esa hora no se prepara café en el restaurante. La justificación fue muy absurda, la muchacha encargada del restaurante dijo que a esa hora no se prepara café para no enredar al personal de cocina, por el asunto de los tiempos de comida. A ver: En la mañana se sirven desayunos, obviamente con café, luego al medio día se sirven almuerzos los cuales pueden o no incluir el servicio de café, ¿Por qué en la tarde de 3:00pm en adelante no se permite la preparación de café para los clientes? Tuvimos que ir a los restaurantes vecinos, uno algo cerca del hotel y otro muy alejado del hotel para comprar un bendito vaso de café negro. Esa acción fue muy indignante, primero porque uno pide que le vendan café no que se lo regalen y segundo porque uno paga lo que le cobren, sin pedir descuento. Lo peor del caso es que el rótulo que está a un lado de la carretera dice: CAFETERÍA. Ojalá eso no vuelva a suceder con la clientela.

The hotel.staff was wonderful: food was great, well prepared. The proprietor apologized from r the run down conditions since COVID had affected tourism, but neither the internet nor THE TV stations worked in the room for the first night. The bed was very uncomfortable. The chef, his wife and child ldren we're welcoming, helpful and pleasant. Too bad. The city is lovely and the whale watching was fantastic!!

Énormément déçu par cet hôtel se disant 3 étoiles. C'était le 8ème hôtel de notre séjour et c'était la première fois que nous n'étions pas accueilli avec le sourire. La propriétaire nous donne une chambre en face de la cuisine (alors que l'établissement était presque vide) avec une douche qui fuyait faisant beaucoup de bruit. Finalement elle nous donne une autre chambre sale, sable sur le couvre lit et douche qui venait d'être utilisée.. Une piscine qui ne donnait pas envie de se baigner et un petit déjeuner passable... Bref 130 euro la nuit pour tout juste un motel selon moi ça fait cher. Franchement à éviter

Logement très basique avec le strict minimum, à mon sens, ce n’est pas vraiment un hôtel 3* mais presque une auberge avec chambres doubles et salles de bain privatives. A notre arrivée on nous fournit les télécommandes ainsi que les linges à la réception. De plus pendant notre séjour de deux nuits, malgré les plusieurs demandes, nous n’avons pas eu d’eau chaude ! Le côté positif : c’est au calme, WIFI qui va bien quand il fonctionne, parking gratuit et à 5 minutes du club de plongée si comme nous, vous venez pour plonger et partir tôt le matin.

El lugar permite llevar mascotas por lo que hace que el paseo en familia sea más agradable. Los que trabajan son muy amables sin embargo tienen muy poco personal en algunos momentos.

Just a short walk (5-10 min) from the marina ballena national park. Beautiful area, near a couple of small grocery stores and a couple larger ones if you have a car. Restaurant food was good. Wifi was very good. rooms are pretty basic and could be updated, but overall met my needs for everything.
