Very friendl staff - took care of our little family with a 4 year old and my wife with some food restrictions as best as they could The place is awesome - very much in nature so no problem that there is no hot shower 😉

Good sunset, airy rooms, a good value place , and access point for coast path going south

Beech is steep and waves just too big to swim, need to walk 15mins .north . Rooms are flimsy , but area seems Safe. Valuables can be left at reception. Food is not cheap.

Absolutely loved Life for Life. I would stay again.

The location of life for life is a bit far out but I LOVED that part! It is secluded, gorgeous, with tons of trails in the area to walk and explore the beach and jungle.

Just a bit more cleanliness in the communal kitchen space and eating spaces.

Un paradiso come pochi

10.0

È un posto magico di fronte al mare e immerso nel verde. Un paradiso di tranquillità. Da lì si può fare un bellissimo e semplice trekking (più una passeggiata in mezzo alla natura) e attraversare una parte della costa. Le foto su booking non rendono quello che sono le camere veramente e il posto. Il mio 'bungalow' era super spazioso, pulito e non mancava di nulla. Il personale puliva e sistemava tutti i giorni la mia stanza (dopo avermi chiesto se potevano farlo). Rodriguez è veramente una persona fantastica, c'è sempre ed ha quella tranquillità tipica delle persone del posto. Ti viene a prendere quanto arrivi, ti accompagna quando c'è da prendere la barca per andare a fare l'escursione o per andar via. Sono veramente felice di essere stata lì e spero che il posto resti sempre così. Ah la colazione era spaziale (allego foto del gallo pinto) e anche il servizio di ristorazione è veramente valido. Grandissimo il cuoco e il 'pasticciere'.

Niente, avevo tutto ciò che serviva.

Beter bekijk je ook de andere opties in de buurt…

7.0

De plek is heerlijk, het is een hele fijne tuin en je kunt zowel links als recht via de kust wandelen.

De keuken is nauwelijks compleet met wat je nodig hebt. Het is er niet schoon. Hoewel de beste man die schoonmaakt en de boel bijhoudt, echt wel zijn best doet. Maar de dooie motten liggen in de pannen in de keuken. En die lagen er bij vertrek nog steeds…. Mijn kamer (dorm) werd elke dag bespoten met luchtverfrisser om de muffigheid te verdoezelen van de badkamer die ernaast zat. Daarnaast is het personeel in mijn ogen niet bekwaam om een gastenverblijf te runnen. Deze plek is enorm opgehemeld, maar ik begrijp niet helemaal waarom… Ik heb ook in Drake Bay verbleven en daar krijg je wel waar voor je geld plus schone accommodatie.
