    Great place to enjoy the sunset and sleep with the waves mumbling softly in the background. We had a cute bungalow with all amenities, including a very good mosquito net. The owner was very friendly and helpful and made sure we had a taxi to bring us to the airport. Would stay again!

    After all the positive reviews on the owners we had a surprising negative interaction with them on arrival. We were first taken to a bungalow which I had not booked & told it was an “upgrade”, (it is very rustic& basic, gaps between boards & no screens on windows. When requesting the room we had booked, the reaction was not a good one & we were made to feel very unwelcome. Apparently one of the rooms had to be closed off & as we were only there for one night we should not have the room we expected ( as told to us by the female owner with much emotion. She also muttered as she went to the great exertion of getting us towels for the room that she wished we would leave & then denied saying this when it was pointed out during her passive aggressive conversation. It was so bizarre & unexpected, we are not loud, disrespectful people, we just requested what we booked & it was available, so still don’t get all the animosity. I hope this is a one off. We left early and a cab was arranged by the owner who seemed very subdued & apologized for her behaviour the night before. After a month in Nicaragua & many rooms this was our only weird experience, glad it was only for the one night.

    The location is very beautiful, kept in a natural state right on the ocean with a small beach, & apparently good snorkelling (never had the chance). The room size is generous & the room decor unique with lava rock, brick & wood. The bed is covered with a mosquito net & a fan is provided, the window is screened. There is a great area just outside the bathroom for luggage storage. There is surprisingly little breeze passing through so a bit stuffy. ( might just have been that night?) A sheer curtain doesn’t allow for much privacy. The smell is a bit damp & musty especially in the bathroom, but you are on the ocean after all. Chairs positioned outside the room were very nice to enjoy the ocean.

    A bit rustic and no A/C. Food and drink a bit pricey compared to the rest of the island.

    Just be aware that if you eat out away from property you should use a taxi after dark as a little remote. That said there are plenty available and so cheap. Only hand wash provided

    Beautiful beaches walking distance Good size comfortable rooms. Plenty of outdoor spaces

    The property doesn’t have the most sealed rooms therefore expect mosquitos coming in and out at night. So much so that the bed comes with a mosquito net!

    Location was amazing! À stones throw from the water, 15min walk from the port and a 15min walk to one of the nicest beaches around! The couple running the place were very welcoming and prepared a very nice breakfast for us- with very good (Italian) coffee!

    You can only use the WiFi at the main office restaurant area. I had a SIM card so it wasn’t a problem. However, the restaurant area is very close to all of the rooms.

    The owners were very friendly and showed excellent hospitality. They provided important information about the island and staying safe as a solo female traveler. I had dinner there two nights. The food was fresh and delicious! I also liked that it was within walking distance to the panga and local shops. I would definitely book again if I visit the Corn Islands or recommend to a friend!

    Wonderful accommodations. Only thing that could be improved was the bed. It was a double and so it was a bit tight for two of us. Also was quite firm. That’s just a personal preference. There are no see ems, to be expected, so bring bug spray.

    The owners were wonderful. Very hospitable and welcoming. They made exceptional food and tended to our every need. We had a special request for our stay, and they delivered. Wonderful accommodations right on the beach.

    It was nice but could be so much more.

    • Stayed 5 nights

    The room, though accurately represented in the photos, was uncomfortably hot with no wind, and we found large spiders and a roaches during our stay, which was somewhat unsettling but kind of expected in a casita like this. The property itself seemed run-down and in need of maintenance, which detracted from the overall appeal of the hotel. The breakfast, though available for an additional cost of $7, was underwhelming, with runny scrambled eggs, tomatoes and toast with homemade jam and one coffee ( no refills)

    I appreciated the friendly owners who were quick to accommodate our request for extra pillows, and the proximity to the beach, which provided a soothing ambiance with the sound of waves. The hotel's affordable price of $55 per night was an attractive feature as well.

    The rooms don't necessarily have wifi, but I think the reception does. I knew this and it wasn't a problem for me since I had a local sim card, but it's good to know

    Constanza was the perfect host during my short stay, from giving general tips to helping me choose where to go for dinner (they have a restaurant on site, but you have to book in advance). My room was spacious and clean. The hotel is only a short walk away from Pic Nic beach.

    We saw 2 cockroaches. The lower part of the wall is made of sea rocks, which adds to the sea style of the room. However there are little cracks in between these rocks where those little bastards hide.

    Very nice and quiet location. You fall asleep and wake up with the sound of the ocean. Good breakfast and friendly hosts! Very spacious rooms provided with a square mosquito net, so you don't get tangled in it.
