AquamarInn

We stayed at AquamarInn for a few nights in November 2019. I honestly can say it was one of the best hostels that we’ve stayed in on our trip in South America so far. I always look at the pros and cons of each place, and in this case I found it really hard to even come up with any cons. Anyway, see below for my thoughts. Pros: Great location. Close enough to the centre but far enough away to be tranquil. Very close to the beach as well Huge rooms. We had a triple to ourselves and it was one of the biggest we’d stayed in Room and shared bathroom were both very clean. Shower was very hot Mosquito nets above all beds Breakfast was nice and filling Staff very attentive and friendly. Always willing to help Compound is secure without feeling like a prison. Very relaxing and plenty of covered areas to chill out, out of the sun Little touches make the difference, like welcoming you personally at 0445 in the morning when you arrive off the night bus through to mosquito coils burning in the shared bathrooms to keep the bugs at bay Beers and water available to buy at decent prices Communication before we arrived (via email) was excellent Price was good and included breakfast Cons (and I’m scraping the barrel here for some improvement suggestions...): No swimming pool (but we knew that when we booked so not their fault) Breakfast was the same each day (3 mornings) which I can imagine would get repetitive if you stayed longer but as I said, it was big and filling, and included in the price, so literally a minor, minor point No free drinking water provided As usual, I ask myself at the end of each stay, would we stay again? Categorically yes - we loved this place and would heartily recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil place to relax for a few days. Our thanks for the management for making our stay so pleasant.
