But comfortable huts, Good Aircon, Lots of mosquitoes but that is a chronic problem on the Island. Nice place all round.

I was diving at Evolution Divers and Google Maps put this place 200m away, which was my primary reason for booking as Evolution itself was full for the first 4 nights of my trip. But in reality it was an unlit 10 minute walk through a confusing maze of back alleys where the locals live, with vicious-looking dogs everywhere you look. The room itself was rather small and the bathroom/toilet was a combined wet room which didn't drain well so you have to get your feet wet each time you want to use the mirror etc. The air con worked OK but was very loud. One day we had a power cut at around 9pm which lasted till the next afternoon. It seems other places have back-up generators to deal with this common occurrence but Mar and Ems do not unfortunately. This also meant no water for that period since the pump requires electricity. My friends stayed in much better places for a similar price (Starlight, Celtis) in the same neighborhood. For the latter half of my trip I stayed with evolution (5000 yen/night) which was only about 1/3 more expensive but was incomparable in terms of quality and location and included a very good breakfast. The trek through local village was worst part so in future I'd try harder to book with the resort or another close-by resort on the beach. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Steph, Canada 17 Apr 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### OK hotel It affordable and the staff are very accommodating. We even got a room upgrade for free! Thank you! ##### Steph ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 3 Apr 2017 #### Ylihintainen Yksinkertainen bambumökki, jossa kaikki toimii "vähän sinne päin". Kiva terassi, mukava hlö.kunta. Ylihintainen. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 15 Dec 2016 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Birmingham North - Cannock by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cannock-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Birmingham-North-Cannock.h1591111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Jaipur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaipur-Hotels.d1669.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Airport Transfers in Gatwick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hotel-With-Airport-Transfers.0-0-d182523-thotelwithairporttransfers.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Clayton Hotel Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Cambridge-Formerly-Known-As-The-Tamburlaine-Hotel.h17161972.Hotel-Information) > > [Caravan Parks Plymouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plymouth-Caravan-Parks.d2817-aaCaravanParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Holiday Inn A55 Chester West by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Deeside-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-A55-Chester-West.h374383.Hotel-Information) > > [Waterfront Cebu City Hotel & Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cebu-Hotels-Waterfront-Cebu-City-Hotel-Casino.h542002.Hotel-Information) > > [Dusit Thani Mactan Cebu Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lapu-Lapu-Hotels-Dusit-Thani-Mactan-Cebu-Resort.h34945712.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Shieldaig](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shieldaig-Hotels.d3000009904.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Ocean Coral Spring - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Ocean-Coral-Spring-Resort-All-Inclusive.h37135707.Hotel-Information) > > [Bluewater Maribago Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lapu-Lapu-Hotels-Bluewater-Maribago-Beach-Resort.h4333687.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Amsterdam](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam-Hotels.d178229.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Portals Hills Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calvia-Hotels-Portals-Hills-Boutique-Hotel.h10116289.Hotel-Information) > > [El Beso Adults Only At Ocean El Faro - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Ocean-El-Faro-El-Beso-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h33992050.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Lisbon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lisbon-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d2080-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Yorkshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Yorkshire-Hotels.s50-0-d6342462.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Masai Mara Sopa Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Masai-Mara-Sopa-Lodge.h89420842.Hotel-Information) > > [Lodge at Solent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fareham-Hotels-Lodge-At-Solent.h16543878.Hotel-Information) > > [Mithi Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dauis-Hotels-Mithi-Resort-Spa.h8460711.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kenilworth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenilworth-Hotels.d4667.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Plantation Bay Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lapu-Lapu-Hotels-Plantation-Bay-Resort-And-Spa.h375155.Hotel-Information) > > [Henann Resort Alona Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Panglao-Hotels-Henann-Resort-Alona-Beach.h4521273.Hotel-Information) > > [St George's Club Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Town-Of-St-George-Hotels-St-Georges-Club-Bermuda.h78150545.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from San José (SJO) to Tocumen (PTY)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/sjo/pty/san-jose-to-panama-city) ### Cars > [Car hire in Hersonissos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Hersonissos.d6034035.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Car hire in Morpeth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Morpeth.d5086.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Platanias](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Platanias.d6035410.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Skyros Town Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skyros-Town.d3000419220.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Bordeaux Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bordeaux.d6023322.Holidays-City-Breaks)
