10.0

A small, homely hotel, perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, sleep comfortably, and enjoy a delicious, home-cooked meal. Most importantly, it's the cozy atmosphere created by a delicate but very strong woman. She's responsible for everything—the cleanliness and decor of the rooms, the organization of massages and excursions, and the delicious, hearty food. And most importantly, her patience—communicating with residents who don't speak Spanish.

There are no disadvantages.

El hotel es muy tranquilo, las instalaciones son muy cómodas y en muy buen estado. Queda muy bien ubicado para disfrutar de las actividades que ofrece Barú y las Islas del Rosario. El servicio es excepcional, Sergio y Lucrecia siempre estuvieron muy atentos para garantizar una estadía maravillosa. Muchas gracias! Muy recomendado.

Great!

9.0

We loved the intimate feel of this small hotel. It was very easy to get from the beach to the dock to the restaurant. The food was delicious and the staff took great care of us. Lots of great adventures to be had as well - snorkeling under the dock, swimming in the bioluminescence, and checking out all the birds at the National Aviary.

Un petit paradis, accueil chaleureux, chambre confortable avec vue sur la mer, bonne restauration.

La propreté pourrait être améliorée. Les prix pratiqués sont élevés comme partout à Baru.

L’hôtel est entouré de superbes jardins, très bien entretenus, et offre une magnifique vue sur la mer. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la piscine. Des kayaks sont également mis à disposition, ce qui permet de rejoindre en une quinzaine de minutes une très belle plage aux eaux turquoise. Ce qui fait vraiment toute la différence, c’est le service absolument exceptionnel de Lucrecia et Sergio. Leur attention, leur gentillesse et leur grande prévenance ont rendu notre séjour mémorable. Un immense merci à eux !
