Wow, where do I begin? This is the worst 'hotel' on my trip through Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama and Peru.
I was initially put in a 'room' right next to the breakfast area. The 'room' seemed to be a kind of common room that they had stuck beds in. No wastepaper basket, no cupboard to hang or put clothes, there was a random desktop computer in the corner with a chair. Seems like the room is occasionally used as a common area, it has two massive sofas in it. The bed was terrible, mattress uneven and broken. They had a slippery carpet with no purchase on the floor - almost went flying twice.
Next: breakfast. Or as they call it the 'breakfast buffet'. Mini saucers for plates. Buffet “tiny slices of cheap ham”, “peruvian cheese” a mangled egg served lukewarm. Hardly worth it.
No tea - the lady in charge didn't know what TEA was (as in English normal tea) she insisted “that is tea”, pointing to a basket of mint, chamomile etc sachets - no those are “herbal infusions” she didn’t know what tea was - surprising considering an international clientele.
I complained about the first room, they moved me to a second:
pretty much a prison cell.
Curtain coming off of rail
No cupboard/wardrobe
Shower pressure erratic, one strong torrent surrounded by dribbles
Tiny handkerchief sized towel
price is a rip off, considering there is no shower in the room. Staff condescending and smug.
avoid.
