Everything was great! Hot water was endless! The bathroom lock was a bit wonky but everything else was perfect. If you have any billing issues, call them directly. The people working the front desk speak enough English to help. We paid in cash when we arrived and everything was fine.

There was a hammock in the room - we loved it. Overall a great stay. The staff was friendly and the space was comfortable. It was difficult to get a taxi to the pier in the morning and the walk isn’t too far (15-20 min) but we had heavy bags so it was inconvenient. Other than that it was a nice place to stay.

Staff is very friendly and very helpful. The hotel was about a 10 min walk to the Charles Darwin research center security checkpoint and stores/dining options. The hotel appeared to be understaffed. No one at the lobby in the morning so we had to leave your room key with the kitchen lady at checkout. Open building concept with lots of natural light and fresh air. Breakfast was great with fresh cut fruit, bread, butter and jam, scrambled eggs and a cheese empanada.
