"The location was perfect, the food was great, the were free activities every day. The staff was amazing, specially people at the front desk, Joana, Antonia and Kelly. A special thank you to Joana who recommended us a bunch of places nearby and to our next location! She was lovely and it was always there to help. The only downside was that we can hear the music from the streets until late at night but good earplugs do the trick. We would definitely book this place again."

"It is a truly beautiful place, although getting there is a bit tricky, the road from Minca to Hostal Cierra Minca could use some improvements. Even so, it has a lot of charm. The only thing that really needs changing is the door lock it seems very flimsy, which can create a sense of insecurity. A sturdier lock would be better for feeling safe at night. Otherwise, everything was great."

I spent almost a week in Divanga using it as base and the plays draws relaxed travellers fun to talk to. Super recommended. "

"It's just basic, but you get what you pay for. The pros: Direct beach access. The beach is tranquil and well maintained. The food at the bar is very good. The chef is outstanding. Pablo and Luis were friendly. The cons: They are stingy with the coffee. The rooms are bare-bones minimal, but clean. The fan is loud and doesn't work well. I travelled with my mom and we booked 2 rooms. I would recommend it more as a hostel for younger travelers. The amenities, service and everything are very basic....
