La Casa De Mi Sub

This place is meant for backpackers and is essentially a hostel. We had a family room - 2 doubles and a twin. We were fortunate in that we travel light and had 4 backpacks. Anyone who had luggage would not be able to fit it in the room. Nor would they be able to get it up the tight narrow stairs. The room itself had a lot of issues. Nowhere to hang anything, not even a towel rack in the bathroom. The room was dark, only a main light no lamps - at night the bright street lights came in to our room as the curtains were sheer. This hotel appears close to the main strip However, it was downhill and took 10 minutes with heat, we didn't attempt the walk back - taxis cost only $2. Do not assume that it is in a quiet neighbourhood. We stayed here on a Friday night and at 2:30 in the morning I was woken up by loud music & people talking loudly. The cleanliness of the apartment is another issue on its own. I understand that being a tropical country means bugs. However, this was an issue at bedtime for us when my son went to lay down on his pillow and there were ants everywhere. Due to the time of night we were not able to change rooms. Luckily, I had bug spray with me and was able to do a bit of damage control however, in the morning when I woke up, my arm was covered in ant bites. As was my sons. Earlier on in the evening, my husband killed a spider on the ceiling and removed a web. Sheets were stained from who knows what & the walls had marks from people killing other bugs.

Great staffs

Our host, Lenny, was amazing and a wealth of knowledge about the island. We based our entire 3-day itinerary off of his recommendations and they did not disappoint!

This was a good place to stay away from the crowds and busy noise of the nighlife. However, that did come with the downside of walking up a hill from the main attractions and streets. Taxis were able to come to and forth for only two dollar though and they’re very prompt. The garden were very nice and the outdoor area is clean and great to chill. If you’re okay with the sounds of chicken and roosters in the mornings it’s not a bad place at all. The actually rooms were wel maintained and cleaners did fantastic daily.

muy amables

really nice garden and water for free! the family was really friendly and the rooms were cleaned every day

clean, good ac, good selection of TV channels and very friendly staff

bit out of town 10 minute walk down to the port area where all tours leave from

The owner Manuel is so sweet. Very helpful with just one call away. However, one night it was raining so hard that my window was leaking, woke up and there was water everywhere. Thank goodness I didn’t have any stuff on the floor. He was sorry about it the next day when he saw me. It’s not a big deal for me since nothing got wet. I love that my room has a mini fridge, to keep my water nice and cold. They supplied hot and cold water downstairs. Wifi was not working in my room, and very patchy in the common area. 15 minutes walking distance to the downtown , away from all the loud music and party area. I love the garden area it was full of different kinds of flowers and plants . Overall my stay was very good. And they have hot water too. Will stay again for sure.
