"A beautiful place to stay with extremely friendly and kind staff who treated us like family more than customers. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. The room is cozy and very comfortable. The pool was clean and refreshing for an evening swim. Breakfasts were healthy and satisfying. The coffee was perfect! Also within walking distance of the beach, shops, and many wonderful places to eat. We didn’t move our car once we had parked and enjoyed everything about the area. "

"Online photos need to be updated to represent the place. The dorm space could be a bit cleaner. The bed was fine and sheets/towel were clean. I had a good nights sleep! The host was a nice guy as was the guy who checked me in. An overall great place to stay if you like affordable, rustic, simple place to sleep while enjoying Playa Palada and Guiones! "
