Good for backpacker.... but simple.

The address listed at hotels.com was wrong. Fortunately someone was near the "old site" and gave us directions (sort of). Since we had an unexpected prolonged walk, we were caught in a tropical rain storm, and on arrival (drenched) a 3% surcharge was added for using a credit card (not mentioned). Housing was simple, small, a bit cramped, but adequate for price. Phot0 of room did not match at all. People friendly, room cleaning during stay non-existent. All and all, ok backpacker's place

Un buen hostel, super económico para la zona en la que se encuentra. El dueño da tips sobre los lugares que puedes conocer con o sin tour. Son muy amables, la limpieza es buenísima y puedes disfrutar una tarde en la alberca :)
