    Would recommend for a brief pause

    Charming oasis, helpful hosts. Monica and her husband were amazing, providing excellent local activity recommendations and assisting with last-minute taxi arrangements from the airport, making our one-night stay even more enjoyable.

    Everything was up to par.

    charming ambiance
    community kitchen

    ultimate convenience near stunning beaches and vibrant eateries

    during my stay, I loved how close everything was, especially the short walk to Playa Avellanas and the fantastic restaurants just a stone’s throw away, making my weekend city strolls around the area so enjoyable and effortless.

    simple charm
    pura vida
    missing amenities

    Clean space with a simplistic charm. The overall vibe captures a Pura Vida essence that encourages embracing life’s little quirks.

    Missing key amenities like a mini refrigerator and a hairdryer really bump up the inconvenience level. Breakfast was misrepresented. the promised hot meals turned out to be a bag lunch in a community kitchen. Separate terraces are too close for privacy, making it hard to enjoy fresh air without feeling on display. Sheets only, no blankets given without a hassle.

    communal kitchen
    missing refrigerator

    The communal kitchen was a fantastic space for making quick snacks, and the morning yoga classes were truly refreshing after a long day on the beach.

    The room lacked a mini refrigerator and we had to contend with only a flat sheet on the bed, which made it uncomfortable at times.

    stunning location
    missing amenities
    unhelpful staff

    Stunning location steps from the beautiful beach.

    Unfortunately, I experienced several disappointments during my stay. The lack of basic amenities like a mini refrigerator and hairdryer made things rather inconvenient. Additionally, the breakfast was misrepresented, and I expected something more substantial than a bag lunch in the communal kitchen. Having only a flat sheet for bedding was uncomfortable, and I felt the staff were unhelpful when I asked for an extra sheet. it was like pulling teeth just to get a little more comfort.

    the lack of a mini refrigerator and coffee maker was a real inconvenience, but what shocked me was asking for an extra sheet. you'd think I was asking for their firstborn. the misleading breakfast situation could’ve even been forgiven with a little extra sparkle in my stay, as a simple welcome gift would have been ideal. just couldn’t praise it.

    The lodge's simplicity was charming, but the ants in our room were a bit off-putting.

    communal kitchen
    quick snacks

    It was just a good pick for a short stay in Playa Avellana with good price value. The communal kitchen was handy for quick snacks, making it feel like home. Bring your own toiletries since they weren't provided.

    Awesome spot for solo travelers!

    Loved my stay! The communal kitchen was super handy for quick snacks, and the vibe was super chill. Walked to the beach in 5 mins—perfect! The outdoor dining area was lovely to kick back in. Just wished the pillows were a bit comfier. Overall, great experience!

    communal kitchen
    morning yoga
    uncomfortable pillows

    Had a great time with my friends! The communal kitchen was perfect for our late-night snacks, and being able to do yoga in the mornings was a highlight. The beach is super close, and we visited Tranqui FunKey-Surf & Yoga for classes which was a blast. Staff were helpful and made checking in easy!

    One downside was that the pillows could definitely be comfier, which made sleeping a bit challenging at times.

    The Budget Double or Twin Room was really cozy and felt welcoming. I loved the hammocks and the yoga deck, perfect for chilling. Internet was solid, and getting to the beach was a breeze. Just wish the pillows were a bit comfier—otherwise, great vibes!
