Francis es la mejor host de Guachaca, nos sentimos consentidos y cuidados todo el tiempo.

Es una ubicación perfecta para ir al río, las personas que atienden son locales y se siente un ambiente cercano y tranquilo.

La ubicación de los ventiladores en la habitación podría ser diferente; el AC es bastante ruidoso.

Francy, a funcionária que cuida do hotel, é muito amável e prestativa. Fez tudo o que poderia para nos acomodar da melhor forma possível, inserindo um colchão melhor para que todos nós 4 pudéssemos dormir melhor. O terraço do quarto superior é muito bom, e a cama de casal é bem confortável. (O sofá-cama para uma quarta pessoa eu não recomendo).

O banheiro do quarto do último andar não foi muito bem construído, de modo que a pressão da água do chuveiro é extremamente reduzida. Falta uma cortina escura para bloquear o sol da manhã quando o hóspede deseja dormir mais. Tivemos um problema de comunicação com a dona do hostel que não nos repassou o telefone da funcionária, não a informou que chegaríamos mais tarde, não atendeu o telefone fixo disponível no google... Tudo isso, somado ao fato de que chegamos na praia às 23h, gerou um grande stress na chegada à hospedagem. A praia Mendihuaca não é bem apropriada para crianças, e havia muito lixo orgânico ao longo de toda a areia. Eu sugiro que os donos de hostels façam um trabalho coletivo para manter a praia em melhor estado, já que é justamente a praia a grande atração turística.

Location - right on the beach.

Our stay was unfortunately not very comfortable. The whole house seems to be slightly leaning, which you can really feel—even when lying in bed, it doesn’t feel like you’re on a flat surface. The bed itself was quite small and not really suitable for two people, especially since the mosquito net takes up additional space. Cleanliness was also below expectations, which made the stay less enjoyable overall. Additionally, the nearby beach is not ideal for swimming due to strong waves. And also we didn’t find any market nearby to buy water so we had to buy at the property for 6000 pesos for 1 l.

La ubicación al frente de la playa, la habitación es pequeña pero tiene todo lo necesario para una buena estancia, limpia y cómoda. Al rededor hay varios restaurantes con buena comida. La atención de Francy y su amabilidad.

Good to know
