El Descanso del Guia

Superb accommodation! 2 separate rooms each with a bathroom. Spacious, verandah overlooking an immaculate pool. Included tasty breakfast served beside the pool. Games room/ gym available. Only draw back its 15 minute walk to town. But taxis are $2 and plentiful.

Great front office people

Rooms were clean and spacious. Staff were friendly and very accommodating. Price was very reasonable. Pool was great.

We are extending our stay by one day. Excellent hotel if you are prepared for the 25 minute walk to the dock Charles Darwin Ave. It is USD2 per taxi otherwise.

Booked superior double king bed, at check-in the guy went to get the key for the correct room (we’ve stayed before and know the room types) but the were no keys left for that room type so gave us a deluxe double with queen, pretty much half the size. I pointed this out but he just said that’s what ******* had reserved so argue with them. ******* no help either.

Beautiful room. Comfortable balcony. Wonderful staff. Fresh breakfast. Very clean hotel.

The staff were helpful, friendly and caring. Breakfast was just right, we definitely made use of that amenity. The rooms were very basic but must say very clean with good enough space for our family.

Pros 1. Clean room 2. Excellent and friendly staff 3. Simple but freshly prepared lovely breakfast 4. Spacious and comfortable room- well priced What could be improved 1. The contact number listed was incorrect and ******* hides the phone number and email the property sent via message. The front desk closes at 6 pm so if you come in after those hours it's impossible to contact the property to make arrangements ahead of time. The number mentioned on the listing was wrong and we kept calling this lady before we finally realized it was a wrong number 2. The air conditioner in the master bedroom of the two bed room unit was not working. It was hot. The staff were not able to fix it. It appears that another two bed room unit was available for booking on ******* but it was not offered. 3. Property was a 10 minute drive from the city center and involved getting a taxi every time. We stayed only for one night because our lovely Airbnb was not available on the night of our arrival, and moved closer the next day so it was not a big issue for us. Getting a taxi to go downtown was not easy especially late evening (for dinner) but getting one to come back was quick. Overall, the pros of this place significant out weigh the negatives and we would not hesitate to stay here again, especially as a bridge for a night. The friendly staff, clean room and amenities were all things we enjoyed.
