The owner of the place is very rude and not a humble person, sorry to say this but I don’t recommend this place for stay

The family that owns the place is very friendly, and they look after it very well. Everything is spotless. Location is fabulous in the middle of town. The rooms are simple but clean.

Did not respond to a question about accepting credit card to pay and there was no ATM in the town of Barra de Navidad. Took us Two days to get the cash to pay which cost us those days to actually enjoy ourselves.

They moved us next door from room 24 to 25 on day 2 as we had a broken toilet and no hot water in the sink. The new room didn’t have hot water in the shower and the fridge didn’t work at all!! NO Wifi in our room, only in public area. The old lady was less than friendly as well… Cash only! Would not stay there!!!!!

I had some problems with understanding the cost, but the next day, there was someone who spoke English, and explained about paying a commission. I had not been aware of that.

Upon arrival we were told they accept cash only and the closest bank was in Melaque a taxi ride away. We were quite disappointed and decided to limit our stay to a single night rather than the two nights we originally planned for. Staff were friendly, facilities clean and property was quiet and close to shops and the promenade.

This wasn’t a fancy hotel and we booked it knowing that. Staff were excellent as well as location. The only thing that needs attention is there was no hot water to shower. We would stay here again for a short period of time

Need a fridge, coffee pot, toaster

Had a nice stay at Hotel Sarabi. Did not know that there was not an ATM in Barra, or that the hotel did not accept credit cards (should've read the fine print closer!). But the Hotel Staff were very accommodating and willing to give us some time to get the cash to pay for the room. Was able to communicate alright with my basic Spanish, but the folks at the hotel did not seem to know much English (so a heads up if you do not speak Spanish, be ready to use a translator app or something). The room was simple and fairly minimal as far as luxuries go, but it had everything we needed. Was a nice place to come back to after a day out and about. Great value for the price and a very convenient location. Would definitely stay here again if I come back to Barra.

Hotel Sarabi was ok, small pool and pool area. Decent size fridge and freezer, 4 burner gas stove top and some cooking utensils,ok for breakfast, but lacking for cooking dinners.

We enjoyed our 15 day stay very much. The staff, and especially the desk staff in the lobby, were very helpful and hospitable. We enjoyed being close to the center of Barra de Navidad, able to walk everywhere downtown and to the beach for wanders all the way to San Patricio.

No hot water at all

This property needs a little TLC. It is very much out dated. The beds are firm. The Internet comes and goes. On the other hand, it is affordable, very clean, and the staff are friendly. There is a night man, (Manuel) that closes the main gate at 11pm and stay’s all night. I felt very safe. The swimming pool is a plus, very clean and just the right temperature.

The staff is friendly, the facility is very clean. This is a low budget hotel so don't expect pillow top beds, they are hard and not real comfortable. Everything is very basic but it served our needs. It is in a great location and is very safe.

The beds were terrible. There was just sheets on the bed with no cover and the top sheet was too short so you were always uncovered. We had two beds in the room and the mattresses were horrible, both myself and my friend woke up with sore backs and shoulders. There was no chair or area for the second person to put there clothes when they went to bed.

You get what you pay for. Basic rooms with great staff

Expedia said that checkin ended at 8 pm. Our bus was very slow and we could not get there by 8 pm. There was no contact info for the hotel on Expedia’s site. I called a number I found on the Internet but no one answered.

The staff was okay, not super friendly or helpful. They forgot to clean our room 2 times the week we stayed. The internet was bad; i only managed to connect twice for a few minutes.

Great location, terrible wifi

It was awesome
