Liked: Renting bikes is an awesome idea!

26 January 2011 ODILON would recommend this property

Liked: O local é agradável e muito bonito. O café da manhã é simples mas atende o objetivo. A limpesa é boa e o atendimento cordial. Atendeu as nossas expectativas.

Disliked: O quarto tem oito lugares. Nos reservamos oito lugares para permitir a utilização de uma quarto para minha família. Isso não ficou claro. Houve um pouco de falta de comunicação.

Liked: the pool is amazing and the staff are nice

Disliked: this really isn't a backpackers! There isn't a kitchen and there is nowhere to handwash any clothes. If you want to fill up your water bottle you have to do it in the bathroom! The selection of food available in Punta is quite narrow and expensive (and at least 15 mins walk away) so they really need to offer self-catering facilities. Also they have a fondness for rules at this hostel some of them being bizarre - like you are supposed to vacate the room between 2pm and 7pm for cleaning! Helloooo - siesta time!
