La Maison Eco House & Yoga

La amabilidad del personal y el ambiente que de tranquilidad que se genera dentro de la hostal. Es un lugar tranquilo y hermoso.

Comfortable bed, and Tania was very helpful. Fabulous cats!

Nothing like the photos or description. No pool, it's a plunge bath, no swimming possible - that photo is particularly misleading. No communal hammock or yoga areas, unlike the photos. No security - we were warned on arrival about local robberies, yet we had no access to safes, and the gate and entrance door were open at all times, with the keys identifying every room hanging there for anyone to pick up. It's a wooden structure, but where are the fire extinguishers? It's described as 'eco', but we couldn't work out what was eco about it. Breakfast was nice but unvaried - fresh strawberries and bananas, and freshly squeezed orange juice every day, followed by eggs and bread. If you want milk - dairy or alternative - you have to buy your own. No access to hot water except at breakfast time, and you aren't allowed to use the coffee machine. And breakfast starts at 8.30am - which clashes with the (pay extra) yoga sessions. The drains smelled terrible. Oh, and there was nowhere to hang towels, let alone clothes. This was the location we were most looking forward to, based on the listing, and had booked six nights so we could really relax after two weeks of travelling. It was so disappointing. Locally, there are some lovely places to stay and eat. La Maison isn't what it says on the tin. It's a great place for young travellers, it's not a quality eco yoga retreat for grown ups. They need to be honest about what it really is.

Tanya was very friendly and provided very useful local information. The bed was comfortable.

The structure of the property was not evident from the photos, it was a combination of wood and bamboo resulting in very thin walls. Breakfast was ok it consisted of a bowl of chopped fruit, banana, strawberry and papaya then either fried or scrambled eggs with three thin slices of avocado. It would have been nice to have a choice, bacon perhaps and yoghurt. (We stayed for 5 nights.) Breakfast was served at 8.30 - the same time as Yoga was scheduled! We were told we had to be silent between the hours of 11pm and 8am, this was for the teenagers I believe as I and my party are all early risers. To conclude, I believe this place is more suited to backpackers/ surfers and young people. It was very rustic and there was no hanging space for clothes.

La Maison is an ideal spot if you are a young solo traveller looking to meet people, make friends and immerse yourself into the kite surfing community of Mancora. Breakfast is a delicious selection of fresh fruit and pancakes if you are staying on a Sunday ! The host was extremely helpful in pointing out cash machines in town, navigating the city, sharing recommendations for good food spots and making travel seamless with recommendations of how to get to & from airport. She is also a fantastic baker and you can purchase her cookies or cake at the hotel :)

The walls of the hotel are extremely thin and you hear essentially everything that is going on anywhere in the hotel, I would not recommend if you are a light sleeper.

I found that La Mansion provided everything to have a good experience. Tania the manager makes a special effort to connect with everyone and make sure they have what they need. She is also very knowledgeable on the best things to do and where to eat etc. The breakfast is generous and delicious, and the environment they created is a lovely oasis of relaxation and natural beauty. I highly recommend it!

Breakfast, community

Danke für die wunderschönen Tage hier. Es ist wirklich eine besondere Art der Unterkunft. Die Zimmer sind individuell eingerichtet, sehr gemütlich und sauber. Hier fühlt man sich wie zu Hause. Das Frühstück ist super lecker. Ihr solltet auf jeden Fall auch die selbstgemachten Cookies und Kuchen probieren. Sooo lecker! Tanja ist unglaublich nett und warmherzig. Sie gibt dir Tipps wo du essen gehen kannst oder wo du zu welchen Preisen hin fahren kannst. Es war eine tolle Erfahrung hier. Auch die Begegnungen mit den anderen Gästen waren sehr angenehm. Ich würde definitiv wider kommen. Vielen Dank für alles!
