Calle Flora Hotel by Jalo
Staff was attentive, rooms were clean. Hot tub working well. It is right across the night life in Poblado so be aware of the music at night but otherwise it was a good hotel I would recommend to others!

Heiss Hotel By Jalo
Area: muy buena. Tranquila y 2-3 minutos caminando a lugares de comer muy ricos. Limpieza: muy buena Habitación: vista muy bonita. Espacio comodo. Solo que las camas muy duras y las almohadas no son buenas. Deben cambiarlas.
