    Nicer front desk person Bigger fridge Better bath rug I felt we were being watched a lot Softer patio furniture

    The price was good for our large family. I liked the usage of family gathering in the patio for dinner. It seemed very clean and well kept grounds

    Just the coffee thing.

    Only negative thing was that there was coffee packet by the coffee maker one of our three nights. Otherwise everything was great.

    When we checked in the receptionist wasn't very welcoming. When we left she seemed more hospitable.

    This facility was geat to us. We enjoyed the accommodations, room service and location. The manager was on site. Security was friendly and helpful. Close to private ⛱️. Kitchen facility was very good. Enjoyed having breakfast on the lanai.

    A tiny complaint. The pillows could have been fluffier? Other than that...a clean well kept place!

    The ambiance was like a cool base camp for adventures! Steps from the ocean. Rain falling at night while the coqui frogs chirp lulls you right sleep. It was cozy and clean. Meeting campers from Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Austria was also neat!

    The walls were thin and noise traveled. The email/text correspondence could have been better. I liked most everything.

    The room was clean. The common areas were clean and had ample tables and chairs for sit down meals. The lodge was fairly empty and quiet. The parking lot was beside our room. The security guard, Patrick, was friendly and helpful. The location was great, walking distance to beach parks and in a residential area.

    The mold and odor.

    A well maintained hostel type hotel/lodge. The rooms were clean but with a musty mold oder so if you are sensitive be aware. It felt very safe at all times. A car (or transportation) is quite crucial.

    'living room' just had 2 twin beds in it. Would have been nice to have a few chairs or a small sofa to sit and visit if we wanted to be inside. Dining table only had 3 chairs, and we had 5 people, so that was interesting. Very remote, so bring all of your groceries and sundries with you. No 'convenience' stores nearby. Small dorm sized fridges, don't hold much.

    2 good sized bedrooms with comfortable beds in them. Bathroom was plenty roomy with great shower! Kitchen was small, but had space for some food prep and light cooking. Very close to a couple of awesome, secluded beaches! No crowds, no resort feel, grounds were nice, clean and well maintained. Nice small table on balcony to sit and watch the animals at the neighboring property. Quiet and peaceful!!

    • Standard Twin Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The beds are quite small for an adult and seem more suitable for children. There are washing machines and dryers available, each costing 3.50 USD. Laundry detergent is sold for 3 USD. Charging for these services, although the amount is small, can be inconvenient due to the need for quarters. Also the doors do not have deadlocks or chain locks, which might be a concern for safety.

    It is close to the beach.

    There was no TV. The room was very small and irregular shaped. Bedding looked unclean. The office was closed as early as 5 pm and could give me any help for finding a place for having a dinner. I had a helper less night without supper.
