The room was spotless. Warm water showers!!! Reception desk staff, Carlos, was very friendly and helpful. Explained and helped with booking excursion and getting around the village. The restaurant accross the street had good breakfast and dinner and the bakery, also just accross the street, sold tasty baked goods. Highly recommend this hotel.

Clean room, attentive staff. small insect problem but the manager took care of it immediately and it was resolved for the rest of our stay. Staff English limited but Google Translate made things smooth 😁. If you have any situation or problem, the staff is very attentive, but if you don’t say anything : no solution 😜. We would stay again

Highly recommend Starfish Hotel

Starfish was perfect for our family of 6. Super clean, tastefully simple and quiet. Carlos was a super host and surprised us with a complementary late check out on our last day as we were waiting to catch the ferry AC and wifi worked well. Highly recommend Albita Grill restaurant that just opened Jan-01-2024.

Easy location excellent service

The location was great. The best part about this was Carlos. He was so helpful. He arranged our tours for us. He was so accommodating and gave us WhatsApp so we could call him anytime we needed to for anything. He was so helpful. The place is good it’s central to everything. It’s so easy to get everywhere. There’s bike rentals across the street.

This is a beautiful, clean, upscale, hostel with coffee and refrigeration options. Quiet, air-conditioning, and nice surroundings within the property make it a high-end hostel. Bathrooms are tiled. Beautifully water is hot and rooms are spacious. If you arrive at a time when there’s no one at the desk, you can still use the area and it is possible the key to your room has been left in the door to your room. no one was available, but I knew what I had booked and I saw a key in a room door, I went in, set up, took a shower and locked up and went to the beach. An amazing value for what you get which is top-notch hostel.

Mejor opción

Me quedé 3noches la habitación en primer piso. Estaba súper limpio y amplio especialmente parte del baño, las instalaciones todavía están nuevas, así que fue muy muy cómodo. Y Carlos estuvo muy atento conmigo, él es una persona muy amigable y considerada. Puedes caminar todos lados, hay un restaurante frente del hotel, y farmacia, mini super están muy cerquita. Entonces recomendable 100% Starfish, muchísimas gracias. 写真よりずっと新しいお部屋で、特にバスルーム/トイレが新築並みでしかもスペースが十分ありすごく快適でした。清掃もしっかりしてくれて、ベッドメイキングも完璧。ただ、ドライヤーがないので必要な方は持参されたほうがいいです。
