8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2025
We enjoyed staying here, it was conveniently located between Playa Gigante and Playa Amarillo, with a good number of restaurants only a couple minutes walk away. We had an air-conditioned room, which honestly made our stay. The bathrooms could do with some updating though, especially the showers, pretty simple with flimsy doors. The kitchen was also tiny, only room for one person to cook at a time.

Posizione comoda, Wi-Fi buono; accogliente area sopraelevata per relax.
Struttura un po’ trasandata, porta del container (dormitorio) senza possibilità di chiusura

Would have been nice to have lockers in the dorms. There are lockers in the reception, but it is closed during the evening/ night!

Staff are friendly
The room with the AC smelled like mildew. The kitchen looks like it’s never been cleaned. Even dead flies in the freezer. We cancelled our stay there and went elsewhere.
