Hostal Insular

Hostal Insular

10/10 Excellent
"We did enjoy the stay at Insular a lot! The owner is very helpful and accommodating. The rooms have everything that we need and a great water pressure in the shower. Having the use of the kitchen was very handy. There was a space to wash sandy feet and rinse and dry clothes. The location is pretty good, with lots of restaurants, tour agencies and bike rentals nearby and close to all the beaches. We would recommend the hotel."

"Great place to stay, within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants, and tour departure points. I especially loved being able to walk over and see the wild flamingos in the lagoon right in front of the hotel! I also really appreciated that if you have an early tour, they can prepare a breakfast “to-go” bag for you. The AC worked great, and the shower had good water pressure. Overall, a very comfortable and convenient stay."
