Easy to get transportation and very close to the airport.
Great little hostel!
Family owned. Pickup for airport was 8-10 dollars. Bed was comfy.
Share one bathroom with others.
Provide breakfast daily eggs with rice and beans and banana slices. It was really good. Offer dinner for 7dollars which was also good.
Theirs a nearby place to get food, a small market and bakery.
Only thing was that as a solo traveler Randall offered private travels but was a bit expensive recommend doing the tours with Expedia for about the same price it includes a meal but w
Very charming hostel, very homey. You can see a lot of love went into the place. Lots of plants, a tiny waterfall. Had a private room with bath and A/C. The homemade dinner was very good. They provided us transportation to the airport at only $8 for the carload. Would stay here again in a minute.
The man at the desk was very pleasant and professional. His English was plenty sufficient and he made us feel at home. The shuttle was very prompt and we felt safe there. Would stay again.
This little family hotel is awesome! They are so friendly, calming, attentive and honest. While the place is simple and basic the atmosphere is great and it is so clean and quiet. The wife is a good cook. She made us dinner and breakfast. Al tasty and since it was a family affair, ie, eating with others, it was a nice way to enter the country. Looking forward to one last night there on our way out of the country.
This is a perfect stop off to and from the airport. Clean and comfortable. The breakfast is simple and delicious. Good coffee. The owners are very kind.
Cheap airport transfer.
Highly recommend.
