Hostal Yemaya — Hotel in Parroquia Puerto López

This is a hotel with the typical "U" structure, where all the rooms lead to a common patio and you can listen everything. The rooms are in the ground floor and in the first floor. My room was clean, big enough, with private bathroom, soap and TV. Some of the rooms have air conditioning. It didn't have hot water.
