El Descanso del Guia

Superb accommodation! 2 separate rooms each with a bathroom. Spacious, verandah overlooking an immaculate pool. Included tasty breakfast served beside the pool. Games room/ gym available. Only draw back its 15 minute walk to town. But taxis are $2 and plentiful.

Great front office people

We are extending our stay by one day. Excellent hotel if you are prepared for the 25 minute walk to the dock Charles Darwin Ave. It is USD2 per taxi otherwise.

Booked superior double king bed, at check-in the guy went to get the key for the correct room (we’ve stayed before and know the room types) but the were no keys left for that room type so gave us a deluxe double with queen, pretty much half the size. I pointed this out but he just said that’s what ******* had reserved so argue with them. ******* no help either.

Pros 1. Clean room 2. Excellent and friendly staff 3. Simple but freshly prepared lovely breakfast 4. Spacious and comfortable room- well priced What could be improved 1. The contact number listed was incorrect and ******* hides the phone number and email the property sent via message. The front desk closes at 6 pm so if you come in after those hours it's impossible to contact the property to make arrangements ahead of time. The number mentioned on the listing was wrong and we kept calling this lady before we finally realized it was a wrong number 2. The air conditioner in the master bedroom of the two bed room unit was not working. It was hot. The staff were not able to fix it. It appears that another two bed room unit was available for booking on ******* but it was not offered. 3. Property was a 10 minute drive from the city center and involved getting a taxi every time. We stayed only for one night because our lovely Airbnb was not available on the night of our arrival, and moved closer the next day so it was not a big issue for us. Getting a taxi to go downtown was not easy especially late evening (for dinner) but getting one to come back was quick. Overall, the pros of this place significant out weigh the negatives and we would not hesitate to stay here again, especially as a bridge for a night. The friendly staff, clean room and amenities were all things we enjoyed.

It’s all about cost versus location . Hotel is clean and comfy with pool, games room, decent rooms and good aircon and hot water, but it’s a 20 minute walk down to the port. We did it twice and it’s absolutely fine, and taxis are $2 flat fare, so not expensive, but you are away from the action. Which is why it’s so much cheaper than the similar hotels in town.

Nice hotel and room with friendly staff. location out of town so $2 taxi each time. Not a deal breaker by any means for the quality and price.

Friendly staff, very nice service, clean room, different fresh made breakfast every day. Hotel itself was very good and worth the stay even though it was in a bit of outskirt of the main town. For VIP access we meant to receive free airport transfer and room upgrade if available but didn’t receive it. ********** displayed incorrect information and the hotel itself couldn’t assist with that.
