So happy I found this gem! Such a great value for the price. Rooms are comfy and have everything you need. Location is amazing being basically beach front. 15 min walk to downtown la punta and 20 min to zicatela. Everyone is kind and communicative. Wifi is not great but that’s common for anywhere in puerto. I Will be definitely be staying here again

Very chill place. You feel at home. Sunset on the rooftop is priceless. 1 min walking to the beach. Shared kitchen is super useful if you staying longer. The family owning are very kind and always around to help and very smiley. The woman owns a salon in the building and she did my nails and my hair and that was super practical and with a very good price. In conclusion, highly recommended!!!!!

Perfect location with a beautiful rooftop terrace and steps away from the beach and a 10 minute walk to the main street with shops and restaurants. The hotel is run by the nicest family who went out of their way to help us and make sure we had a great stay :) wish we could stay longer!!

Muy buena ubicación, buenos anfitriones y ambiente tranquilo. Una sugerencia es que la cocina (que es un espacio en común) le pongan más atención: mejores trastes, sartenes, jabón, microondas, así como una limpieza constante y tal vez una cortina para evitar que le pegue toda la tarde el sol, esto le apoyaría muchísimo.
