Bed bug reports

Possible Booking.com
Not so friendly staff, some of their kids on the property yelling almost constantly. As many say it’s rundown, it wasn’t too bad, but maybe they should drop “lodge” (to me this implies it’s very nice) and the prices, and be more honest with themselves about what it is. The bed was the hardest I’ve ever had (save the wood platforms in India) and the AC unit was loud. Dead bugs in the bedroom floor. Rusty fridge. Could not leave the main gate, had to go in and out by the beach.

Vibe Analysis
Muyuyo Lodge is strongest as a beach-first stay in Ayangue: direct access to the sand, sea views, and a pool that can look straight out toward the water. The setting is natural and green, with terraces, balconies, bungalows, and a quiet feel on calmer weekdays. The pool is one of the main draws, especially with the ocean view. Rooms can have useful basics like air conditioning, TV apps, balconies, and enough space, though the experience depends a lot on which room or bungalow you get. Breakfast is usually simple, with eggs, bread, fruit, coffee, or yogurt depending on the day. There is a restaurant on site, and the food can be good, but lunch and dinner service may be limited during the week. This works best for travelers who want beach access and a relaxed base more than polished facilities.
