Nelyza — Hotel in Parroquia Bella Vista

I cannot stress how important is a good host and what influence they have on your entire vacation. Nelyza was simply a delight! She was caring, informative, friendly, and more than willing to help at all times. The place is located a bit further up town, about 15-20 min walk from the promenade and center, and Nelyza chased me time and time again to give me a scooter ride even when I said it was not necessary she insisted, and it was of course very helpful at times, especially when I had early morning tours to embark on. She had asked me to join her for coffee, she offered to take me around the island and was extremely helpful with holding my luggage for free when I was spending a week in another island. The room was very very large and spacious. There was a huge mineral water bottle and it meant I didn't spend my money on water. The room was cleaned daily, I had lots of towels. A Great homestay away from home.

The only one thing that I could say that was not perfect was the water temperature, it was sometimes medium and sometimes chilly but honestly I didn't mind it with...

Nelyza's is an affordable rustic little gem that is very comfortable and off the beaten path. While it is in town, it has a real island feel to it. The owners are unbelievably kind, generous. They go out of their way to help you navigate the islands and attractions, while making sure that you are not overcharged or taken advantage of. If you prefer high dollar luxury hotels so that you can be pampered, this is not for you. If you like to hang out with the locals in a non-touristy place that is fun, unique and eclectic, you will love it here. Oh, almost forgot...plenty of cold beers are in the rooms...

I had a wonderful time at Nelly’s place! She is the nicest and helps you out with everything. She’s just such a positive - spirited person with a wonderful attitude towards her guests. And her place is very beautiful and green, clean and located in a safe neighborhood. It’s a little off the tourist part of the island, so if you’re looking for a calm, authentic place, this is it. They have free bikes for you to take and it’s just a very short bike ride to the port. (She can also tell you where to get the best (cheap) $1 empanadas in town - they...
