“Nice place”
+Very nice hotel, close to the beach, very friendly staff.
−The breakfast included in this price is “continental” and only includes 1 coffee, 1 juice, some bread butter and jam. No protein, no vegetables. It’s okay but I would’ve liked to know about it before.

“Great view of the ocean. Very quiet and private. Great staff.”
+It was private and quiet with no crowds on the beach. The view from our balcony was incredible. We saw whales and dolphins every day. We had the pool area to our selves. The staff was wonderful and always helpful providing us with everything we needed. We loved that there was free room service for our room or pool area.
−As we were on the fourth floor there was lots of uneven stairs to climb. The food at the restaurant was good but a little high in price and the portions were small. Punta sal town is very small with few restaurants and stores.

“Very pleasant old-fashioned beachside hotel”
+Nice rustic white buildings. Lovely swimming pool for cooling off. Large fridge for putting your own fruit and other food into. Good food served from the restaurant to your room and balcony if requested. Very helpful and friendly staff. The hot water didn’t work in the room we were given to begin with, but we were then moved to another even nicer room immediately. The staff arranged taxis for our arrival and departure. The location while being out of Punta Sal town allowed for a less crowded very quiet beachside holiday.
−A very skimpy breakfast: a glass of juice, tea or coffee, and two toasted bread rolls. The pervasive presence of cats. The giant open air cat litter (20 cats in the enclosure) on the way to the beach.

“I do not recommend this hotel”
+I stayed here several years ago with my husband and daughter. The view and style of the hotel were breathtaking. At that time, the host (Fermina) was very welcoming and did her best to make us feel special. However, this time the story was very different. Despite the price, the hotel hasn’t improved at all. Furniture looks worn out and dirty, in the room, restaurant and around the pool area. The pool was dirty when we arrived and they only cleaned it after I complained saying that the last days had been very busy. The stay included continental breakfast that in the menu was shown for 18 soles (very basic), and American breakfast for 20 soles. We asked if they could change the continental for American breakfast (which included scramble eggs) so we could pay the difference (2 soles extra pp) however they said that was not possible and instead they had to charge us 8 soles pp for the extra eggs. The room included only three big towels and soap. We noticed there were no floor mats or little towels, we asked and they confirmed they didn’t have little towels. Sadly my husband slipped on the wet floor but fortunately he fell on the old yellow WC seat, which broke in two. They luckily repa

“Es acogedor y bastante familiar.”
+la limpieza de las habitaciones y el trato cortes del personal del hotel
−Se fue el agua en dos oportunidades, aunque solucionaron el problema, tuvimos que esperar con este calor. El anuncio es con vista al mar, por ello deben recortar o amarrar la paja caída del techo para que no interrumpa la vista desde la terraza. Por lo demás estuvimos cómodos.
