Tonsupa is definitely off the map but this little gem is all you need! If you're planning on going to tonsupa this is the place you want to stay. The rooms are great and it looks like they're getting renovated. They are simple but nice. Tv, bed, bathroom, Nice comfy beds, a cool little balcony that you can see the... More

They have a lot of space to walk and to spend time, a really nice backyard and good pool. Great and charm service, you note they are concerned about that. It´s a family business and that gives you a close relationship with part of the staff, and makes them very friendly . They are working hard on service, but it´s... More

Rooms were older but the view... More

This hotel was lovely and located right on the beach! We were able to have a night bonfire right on the beach. The food was great, it was clean, and the staff were very nice as well (there was a language barrier but they smiled a lot- haha). I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone.

We arrived at Puerto Ballesta at 5AM after taking the night bus. The night watch guard let us into our rooms and we essentially got a third night free. That started the trip out on a great food because to me that is great customer service. There was no one else in the rooms so it just made sense so... More
