    closed restaurant
    misleading location

    The room had clean facilities and comfortable bedding.

    I was deeply disappointed by my stay. The restaurant and bar were closed, which I wasn't informed about prior to arrival. On top of that, the distance to the beach was misrepresented, making it quite inconvenient for someone looking to enjoy Playa Avellana.

    smell
    service

    the hotel's condition was just awful, with empty coke bottles by the pool and a persistent smell of mildew. i almost thought of leaving a positive review for the spacious room, but the service was utterly lacking, and i certainly expected at least a welcome gift for enduring such discomfort. such a shame, truly!

    spacious villa
    hammocks
    great beach access
    kitchen area

    We loved how close the lodge is to Playa Avellana, a fantastic spot for swimming and soaking up the sun. Our spacious villa easily accommodated our large family, making it feel like a home away from home. Besides, the hammocks were perfect for afternoon chillouts!

    My wife says that a larger kitchen area would benefit family stays.

    Loved the spacious room and the friendly vibe everywhere! The pool and garden area were super relaxing spots to unwind after a fun day. Just a heads up, the restaurant was closed during my stay, so plan ahead for meals. 😊

    clean room
    comfortable atmosphere
    limited amenities
    long wait time
    off-season closures

    In a tranquil setting, the room offered comfort and cleanliness. The beach nearby was easily accessible, allowing for enjoyable strolls. However, facilities were limited during the off-season, and the wait time for food in the restaurant was noticeably long, despite the quality of the grilled meat. For a longer stay, the limited amenities could be a drawback.

    cozy atmosphere

    Just a decent option for a brief retreat in Playa Avellana with excellent value for money. The room had a nice, cozy atmosphere that made it feel welcoming after a long day. Bring your own coffee maker if you enjoy a hot cup in the morning.

    Relaxing stay with excellent amenities

    I had a fantastic time at this lovely place with spacious rooms, including a lounge and kitchen area. The hammocks in the shady garden were perfect for lounging, and the small pool was refreshing. The cleanliness was commendable, and the yoga shala was a great addition for morning stretches. It’s a bit of a trek to the beach, but it's manageable if you’re up for a little adventure.

    long walk

    cozy retreat but not as close to the beach

    The room had a lovely view of the garden, making it a peaceful spot for relaxation. The staff members at the restaurant provided exceptional service, always with a smile. Additionally, the small pool offered a refreshing break after a day in the sun.

    It's quite a trek to the beach.
