La gestión de solucionar un transporte a las 05.30 hrs de la mañana al terminal de buses de Castro, ya que taxis ni Uber habia en ese momento. Se le agradece la disposición de informar y educar, la condición de elevación de la marea , teniendo en cuenta que el Hostal es un palafito. Excelente. Volveremos en otra oportunidad.

La verdad, no rescatamos nada negativo, superó nuestras expectativas. Un 7

La ubicacion

Muy mal organizado, faltó el desayuno incluído en el valor. Parecía un hostal para jóvenes mochileros.
