El Eden Bungalows

The view

Family run by a wonderful couple. Beautiful view, lush gardens with hummingbirds, very clean. They will make a nice breakfast for a small price.

Although there was A/C, the bathroom window only had a screen, no glass, so hard to cool the room. We put pillows in the open space between the bathroom and bedroom and kept bathroom door closed and that worked ok. A bit of a hike up from the beach, but that is why there is such a great view!

Good location up on the hill, bit of a walk but nice to be away from the centre of town. Lovely and accomodating staff, room was super big and spacious

Primarily booked for the AC but unfortunately the room had lots of windows only covered by fly screens so it made the AC redundant

Location was a ver short walk downhill to the main streets and staff were really really nice.

The unit had no AC and it was over 70 degrees throughout the night. Even with two fans on, I couldn't sleep because it was very very hot. The price was good for what it offered but I wouldn't book again during the hot months.

Disclaimer*** The pictures are nicer than the property. Things we liked: -Gonzales and his wife, was very sweet, he tried to use google translate with us to communicate b/c we did not speak Spanish. We felt safe with them as solo female travellers. -The room is airy and smells clean/nice -Location is close enough for walking to the beach (theres alot of crazy hill/stairs they should disclose thou) so not a nice surprise if you are not super into hiking in 36(cel) degrees heat, you should be fairly fit and enjoys physical activity and sweating) -the beautiful communal roof top terrace. that was our fav part, you can see ocean views on there. there are rocking chairs and a hammock (they should fix the hammock as it hits the floor when you sit in it) -they clean your room everyday but we didn’t want people entering without informing us, we were surprised a cable guy was in..when we weren’t there, he moved the furniture and didn’t put things back, or clean his foot prints, also left scraps on the floor) - we were not informed about this before or after. -they have a filtered water dispenser which was very handy 👍

Alot.. -first we got the triple room with sea view, thats a lie, its NOT Sea view, we almost left when we got there but it was too late and had no choice, this is false advertising. The room was so tiny and NOT a triple, they said its a triple coz if 2 people share in the double sized bed!? one of the bed looked more like a single. (not like the photo) Also, we are 2 girls under 5’3 and our foot was hanging from the end edge of the bed..so ask and re-check mattress dimensions. -room was clean (the important things) but shower knobs, sink was incredibly grimy. the shower towels and beach towels looked disgusting, smelled not too bad, so it was laundered just super ratty condition, like using thin sand paper, that is grimy. Just not pleasant or you just would not want to use it. -the room location was right on a pretty main road in this village! we had to close the windows and door when showering, (but then its sooo hot) wanted to enjoy the hammock outside but hammock is stinky/sticky and in-front of this road. In the morning and at night, all kind of loud car sounds, not what is being “sold” we were very unhappy about the lack of honesty of what it really is like. so I wanted to write this detailed review. - we were in the Garden room. Not nice for privacy at all, especially if you are girls traveling on your own. Not tranquil, not private. -We were there in mid April, Id say its too hot to not have air conditioning, we did survive, sleeping with windows open and fan on full, so its up to you. -people entering your room without informing you. (see above)

I didn’t expect to have an en suite living room and kitchen. The view is gorgeous and it’s quite. Señor Gonzalo and his wife made me feel super welcomed while remaining discreet. The mosquito nets and the fans were the perfect combo for breezy nights. I liked being uphill (although it requires to be in shape) and away from the animation of the center. A home away from home
