Ecohotel Arte y Aventura

It’s a very authentic stay on a budget. Carlos, the owner is very nice and the connection to nature is very important to him, he is planting new trees and really takes care. It feels more like a bed and breakfast at his home wich creates a really nice atmosphere. Although I would recommend you if you prefer a little more comfort like taking a shower or an electrical outlet in the room this might not be the best stay for you! The food is tasty but the portions are quite small.

Everything! This place is rustic, adventurous and authentic! Carlos the owner is the loveliest person, speaks English well (which is really helpful as a non Espanol speaking person). The room is comfortable if you understand that there is no luxury here! Showers were with a bucket, this was an experience that reminded us how much water we waste, and it was oddly satisfying and refreshing! The property is super interesting with lots of the owners art making the place a happy and fun place to stay! The hammocks out the front of the rooms and in the common area provides an amazing place to relax and unwind. The property is remote (but close to everything as the island is very small) making this a very peaceful place to stay. The owner also offers breakfast and dinner for an added cost and this was amazing, he made us vegetarian burritos in a handmade egg pancake, delish! Cannot recommend this enough for an authentic experience giving back to the community! Muchias gracias Carlos and Mango!

Nothing!

Such a lovely place, with incredibly kind and helpful people. Hammocks are perfect for naps, the food was great, the dogs were adorable, it is quiet and close to the beaches, and to Orika. Keep it simple and stay for a few days.

Hosts will remind you, and believe them: you will need a flashlight and mosquito repellent.

Gosh, where to begin… all the food was homemade by the Wonderful Carlos who has been running the hostel for the past 40 years! ~ he takes such great care of his guests and takes a genuine interest in each soul who passes through this place, also the food tastes of love & all the activities with Michael were just so serene

I say this for many of the ecohostels I’ve stayed in along my travels ~ I feel like some warm coloured solar panelled lights at night when it got dark would’ve added another level of cosiness to this magical place!
