La picsina se veía sucia que no le dan mantenimiento, no hay suficientes utensilios para cocinar, solo funcionaba una hornilla para cocinar ni siquiera tenía fósforos para prenderlo, el área es deprimente para vacacionar y no hay comodidades de un supermercado o restaurantes cerca, en definitivo no vale la pena. ##### Antonio Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### XIOMARA 19 Dec 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication I didn’t like the payment method It was only cash or money transfer and I prefer pay using my credit card ##### XIOMARA Stayed 1 night in Dec 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### felix 18 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication ##### felix Stayed 1 night in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher 6 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Christopher in Juan Dolio It was a very nice and clean place.

It is clean and has a nice garden with pool. Small supermarkets and restaurants are in 5 min walking distance. Note that only cash is accepted, no credit card and that no safe box is available in the room and that there are no chairs at the beach. But within 5 minutes walking you find a really nice beach where you can rent umbrellas, beach chairs & co. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timothy 23 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A Gem The hotel was extremely tranquil and clean. The pool was very relaxing especially since it was surrounded by tropical trees and flowers. As my wife and prefer to cook our own food, the kitchen and fridge are always on our priority list. It is well equipped. The building is secure at all times as is the general vicinity. Walking to the Colmado is easy. And there is no problem if you need clean towels or other items. We have stayed at several other places in Juan Dolio and this is by far our favorite. We will stay there again in the near future. I hope your enjoy your stay as we did. ##### Timothy Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 3 Sept 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 11 Mar 2019 Disliked: Staff & service We were not told prior to our reservation that we could not use any of the ameneties due to a wedding.

La experiencia fue muy mala. En la habitación que nos colocaron no había electricidad, tampoco llegaba agua a la ducha y no había agua caliente en todo el hotel; tratamos de utilizar la piscina y el agua estaba sucia. Nos cambiaron de habitación y el aire no funcionaba; nos decían que no tenían más habitaciones disponibles y se negaban a reembolsarnos el dinero. Como a las 8:30 pm accedieron a devolvernos el dinero porque ya nos encontrábamos de muy mal humor y nos negábamos a continuar allí pasando tan mal momento, y aún asi nos hicieron un descuento de diez dolares porque supuestamente reservamos por hotels.com y ese era el monto que ellos descontaban por la reserva. A esa hora tuvimos que salir a buscar un hotel para pasar la noche y lo que se suponía seria un fin de semana agradable se convirtió en un momento de estrés y disgustos. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristy, New York 12 Mar 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Satisfied Guest Overall I had a great experience. People are very friendly and they allowed us to check in early. My only suggestion would be to provide more tools for the kitchen such as a coffee maker and more than one knife. ##### Kristy ### 6/10 Okay #### poolo, Firenze 29 Jan 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort #### l'incubo è finito Allucinante sei in balia degli eventi non ti senti mai tranquillo ##### poolo
