This guesthouse has lots of character and is quite unique. I loved the jungle feel with all of the plants and the wooden walkways/decks. ||Breakfast was really delicious, better than most other places, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. ||However, I was shocked at how TINY our room was. Based on the photos and the price, I expected more hotel-like accommodations. It was very clean and the decor was charming and comfortable, but there was barely enough space to put our packs down, let alone open them up or settle in. And while the bed was comfortable, it was also quite small. The windows don’t have glass in them, and insulation is non-existent, which meant we could hear every word said in the room next door. ||This place is full of charming details (like a large DVD collection if you get stuck with torrential rain), and a really lovely dining/relaxing area. It’s clean, safe, and just far enough off the main strip to be quiet. ||We splurged on this guesthouse because I wanted to stay somewhere extra nice for my birthday.

Read moreWe loved this pausada. We stayed there 2 nights in a standard room. The room was very clean and well equipped with all the promised amenities, safe, TV, air dryer and more. Although the room was small we had our own peace of balconi with a small table and hammock with a fantastic view of the jungle. Just sitting there and listening to the sound of the birds was so relaxing. The place itself is like a botanic garden with orchids and interesting vegetation.|Breakfast was very good and the hospitality was very warming.|They serve a coffee break every afternoon, just at the time when people come back from the beach. |The nicest thing was that in the last day after the checkout they offered us a nice clean and warm shower. As we spent the all day at the beach I couldn't be more grateful. |I warmly...
