Bon hotel. Nous avons apprécié la convivialité des personnes a l'accueil et du chef cuisinier. Avant notre départ, le propriétaire de l'hôtel a même offert une crêpe a nos enfants. Nous avons pu profiter des palmes, transat et parasol de l'hotel prêté gracieusement. Merci !

Beautiful, quiet hotel

We stayed for 2 nights at Esprit Libre. We had breakfast, lunch and one evening meal and all our meals were excellent. The small pool was a welcome haven after temperatures of 27 to 30 degrees. We had a junior suite and it was very modern, spacious and very comfortable. Friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere. The free WiFi was especially appreciated - we were able to log on easily and quickly from outside (pool area, bar/restaurant) as well as from our room. Highly recommended.

Small friendly guest house

Stayed four nights in this small friendly guest house. Lovely beach 10 minutes walk away. Main village just under 4k ideal for those who want a few days of peace and relaxation but could become a little boring for longer periods as not much to do other than beach.

Mañana is the right word for this hotel. Everything moves in a slow phase since they are understaffed. Plan ahead when you order drinks or food. Cosy place and nothing wrong with the rooms. Don't accept card payments and you need a Taxi to closest ATM.
