Eco-Camping El Frutal

Excelente budget option for Rosario

Pros: Welcoming host. Lots of great and reasonably priced tours. Basic facilities expected as this is what’s advertised.

Cons: The cockerels

Camping, with a very caring host

Pros: The host is super friendly and even offered us a free private cooking class for how to make local dishes. Definitely take his suggestions for activities, he is a local and knows the area extremely well.

Pros: Wow. The campsite is run by the local legend Gregorio an amazing guy. He made us feel very at home and was so kind to us. We learnt loads about life on the island for the locals the good and the bad. He had loads of cool tours for us too. The best was fishing for barracuda, so cool. We managed to catch three and an egg fish which he helped us cook together that night. He gave us coconut and taught us how to cook plantain and coconut rice. A lovely place and a lovely guy, thank you Gregorio!

Pros: Recommend! One of the cheapest places on the island. The owners are super friendly and helpful. E.g. it was raining one of the nights and the owner came to check on us several times. You can get help to book tours, they put mosquito repelling things next to you in the evening, etc. Nice common chill out area with hammocks + cozy christmas lights around the camping.

Cons: Location on booking is wrong, follow google maps location. No big luxury (e.g. shower with buckets, no running water, mattress not extremely comfy), but it makes a great experience and you pay way less than other places.

Amazing Place to Rest and Explore The Island With a Local Host

Pros: Gregorio (host) is amazing and very helpful with what to visit or where to book tours and stuff. The place is of course a camping spot and you should arrive with expectations of natural sounds.

Cons: I enjoyed everything during my stay, nothing bad to say about it.

Pros: The host - great guy, speaking English, very kind. He helps you with everything, we went to see plankton - amazing experience. Also did some diving to see corals and a sunk plane!

Cons: mosquitos and flies, but they are everywhere on the island, so just get a mosquito spray

I was finally relaxed during/after my stay

Pros: Gregorio, the owner, is just the nicest person ever! very cozy as well :)

Maravillosa

Pros: Katia y Luis han sido super agradables y nos han tratado genial. Muy recomendable

Pros: Fue una experiencia de la isla muy auténtica. Tanto Katya como Luis estuvieron muy pendientes de nosotros, dándonos consejos de actividades y cocinándonos lo que pedíamos. Recomendado para gente que busque aventura y una experiencia diferente.

Cons: La ducha es mediante un cubo de agua, aunque también es parte de la experiencia.

experiencia en la isla auténtica y con el menor impacto ambiental

Pros: Si quieres que tu experiencia en la isla sea auténtica y con el menor impacto ambiental, este es tu sitio. Además de nuestra estancia, hicimos el curso de cocina con Katia y Shaira que son súper agradables con mucha naturalidad y frescura. Aprendimos a cocinar patacones, arroz de coco y mojarra roja. Toda una experiencia y la comida estaba muy rica. Al día siguiente comimos un ceviche de gamba y cojinua de lo mejores ceviches que he comido. ¡Recomendable!

Cons: En las tiendas hacia un poco de calor
