Preis-Leistung stimmt. Aber es könnte die Küche besser ausgestattet werden, die Poolarea erneuert. Das Frühstück ist super :)! & die Lage auch.

Muy buen ambiente, fácil conocer gente y las instalaciones están súper bien, especialmente la piscina que siempre tiene movimiento. Todo el staff fue muy amable, pero un agradecimiento especial a Raquel, que fue increíblemente simpática y siempre dispuesta a ayudar con cualquier cosa. Hizo que la experiencia fuera aún mejor. ¡Totalmente recomendado si vas a Palomino!

The facilities are a bit dumpy and need an update. The mosquito nets in the beds need cleaning/replacing as they’re filthy. Also lots of bugs in the rooms. Decent social vibe compared to other places and staff was friendly.

+ Walking distance to everything in the town. We liked the hammocks to relax in. Good mosquito net.

- You had to pay to refill your bottle. Our room was a very small attic room with a low roof and broken light so it was always dark in there and not any space to move around in. The pool was very very small.

+ Me gustaron mucho todas las areas sociales del lugar, los desayunos simplemente deliciosos y la atencion de Michaela en recepcion 100% maravillosa

- Las toallas de la habitacion, se veian bastante desgatadas, y la ducha no tiene mucha presion el agua, es dificil poder tomar un buen baño para refrescarse al llegar a la habitacion

+ Staff were friendly, food was great and there is a nice community there of travellers I would love to give it a higher score but i can’t

- I paid for a private room and it was raining loads which cut the power so the generator was right next to my bedroom and was unbelievably loud, the room smelt of bad toilets and they even charged me for some ear plugs, despite my room being so close to the generator i could feel the vibrations

+ great place to meet people (they have lot of activities) and have fun with sports or just relax. Very good breakfast or any meal at the restaurant as well as great cocktails on the bar (dont miss the happy hour!) Great location in the middle so you will not walk too much for the beach or bus either. And the best part is the vibe from the girls at the reception and all the staff, they were amazing! <3

- just a mosquitos and the moment we had to leave :(

+ Es súper seguro, severa energía, bien ubicado, buena alimentación, es muy económico.

- Está vez pudó estar mejor el aseo, aclaro que siempre me quedo en el zoo, porque es de lo mejor , tal vez solo fue circunstancial.
