"Pros: The hostal is well decorated with murals of animals and is clean (although there seemed to be an issue with some ants in the room) and well kept with comfortable beds with nice blankets. Rooms have air conditioning and the owner, Carlos, is friendly and helpful. Both the rooms and the bathrooms are of a good size. Someone comes in each day to make the bed and replace the towels which is great.
The kitchen area has a couple of hammocks and nice views towards the sea. It’s a quiet part of the island and is a great place to relax.
Carlos will meet you at the airport and will pay for a taxi to the airport (otherwise about $3) which is a nice touch and eliminates some of the hassle of arriving in an unfamiliar place.
Cons: The quality and reliability of the WiFi was fairly poor - it tended to drop out when moving around the hostal and was often very slow. The kitchen, whilst useable, is in need of some tlc (for example the fridge freezer, oven and stove has seen better days). It would have been great if there was some free coffee as there was a coffee machine.
The property is about 1km about of town which isn’t the end of the world as the island is very safe, it is a quick walk and taxis are cheap but it is worth bearing in mind if you want to be in the middle of town.
The hostal didn’t seem to have warm showers although that isn’t unusual for South America." ~Thomas
