Una excelente opción en hospedaje si quieres estar lejos del ruido y del centro de salina cruz. Las habitaciones son muy amplias, con clima. Muy limpias. Y el costo es bastante accesible
The room is quite lovely, nicest place I've stayed for a while. The only negatives were that I couldn't get the WiFi but u had signal so no problem. The water pressure could be a bit more powerful too.
The owner was super friendly and kind, was very easy to plan our last minute arrival with her. The posada was very clean. We stayed only one night but left very satisfied.
The owner was super kind. He took us to the beach next day, gave us some references. He doesnt speak english very well, but he was trying to. When we wanted to stay an extra day and he didnt have free room, he took us to his uncles hostel.
Great place to stop and rest with tv air conditioning common kitchen and livingroom as well as safe parking space. Great price for all you get!!
Un lugar escondido pero bastante agradable. La habitación está limpia. El estacionamiento tiene que ser en el patio del dueño.
Good place for a one night stop. The bed is okay and the kitchen is good for a one time use. The neighbourhood felt a little bit off at night.
Buena ubicación el lugar esta tranquilo. No hay Internet .
