Pros: Amazing place to relax at. Literally next to the ocean. The girls are super friendly and helpful, and make great empanadas that we had for lunch and dinner. There’s beer and cold drinks for affordable prices.

Lovely stay on a nice quiet slice of the beach.

Pros: We loved having a little private part of the beach to relax with the sun beds and hammocks. The girls were very nice and accommodating even with our very poor spanish. The empanadas are yummy. The beach outside was nice and quiet even on a weekend and we had lots of space to swim and it was not loud with music. We had a fun little stay!

Cons: Both nights we stayed there was power shortages (apparently happens more at weekends with more tourists along the beach) but it did mean we struggled to charge phones and that the fan didn’t work so the little cabin was very hot!

Cosy and tranquil oasis on Baru Island

Pros: The location, the hosts, the nicely decorated accommodation, basic breakfast, tasty vegetarian food, very nice terrace with hammocks with sea view.

Cons: The location is good, but the beach is busy and be aware that on the island there is bo running water, no wifi (but data connection works) and it is better to have some cash.

Highly recommend

Pros: Sol and Camille are great hosts, there are only two private rooms upstairs with their own terrace and chill out area. The bathroom is shared and basic, but fresh water at all times. All their food is home cooked, vegetarian and very delicious. You can also refill your bottle there to reduce plastic waste. They also offer tours to different places. Be informed, there is no wifi but if you have a sim card the connections works. Electricity is only available from around 7pm -7am. Very relaxed place directly at the beach.

Cons: The bedsheets could be from a more comfortable fiber.

Ale 10/10
Germany 🇩🇪

Pros: It's really something special, you can see they, Camí and Sol, put thoughts and care into it. Simple, basic but beautiful and kept spotless clean. The room is very small with a comfy bed and little space for the luggage, but the terrace makes it up for it. Good breakfast and the two sisters are helpful and very nice.

Cons: Not Camí and Sol fault, but one should be aware that in playa blanca there is actually almost no beach...and most definitely not in front of the accomodation, one steps more or less directly into the water. And I really hope Camí and Sol will no longer sell the islands tour as it's an expensive scam.

Location is great, right on the beach

Pros: Great location in quiet part of Playa Blanca (the rest of the beach is incredibly busy), run by two sisters. Yes it is basic, yes you have a cold shower, yes you share the bathroom but you cannot beat the location.

Wonderful stay in paradise!

Pros: As soon as I arrived I extended my stay! It is in the most beautiful location, right on the sea front but away from the loud music further down the beach. Sol and Camila are two lovely sisters who run the place; they helped me arrive, organised amazing activities like snorkeling and visiting Las Islas Rosarios and cooked healthy vegetarian food!

Cons: Nothing!

Awesome hostel in beautiful Playa Tranquila!

Pros: It was located in such a beautiful spot, right in front of the beach, in Playa Tranquila. Sol and Cami were amazing hosts, very kind and attentive. The breakfast Sol prepared was wonderful. The hostel was so cute, with a bohemian vibe. Of course you don't have the facilities of a hotel, but that's part of the charm of the place.

Cons: It would have been nice to have a fan in the room, it can get very humid and hot during the night.
