We had a small, very basic room, but it was clean, and we found the bed comfortable enough. All Spanish speaking, so guests should have some basic Spanish. The location is within walking distance to restaurants and marina. The staff was pleasant.

We had a lovely stay at the Pulpo Comfortable room (could have more shelves/hangers) Good hot water with pressure (most of the time) Easy access to shops/restaurants Not too noisy .. but that will change with the new bus parking and all the new construction around All in all a great little hotel

GREAT value I couldn’t believe it

Incredible stay I felt very welcomed and happy here. I’m so glad I booked this place instead an all inclusive. It’s right by the beach and has everything you need at a better price. it’s clean, safe, and conveniently located. I couldn’t have asked for better. I hope to go back soon. Highlight of my trip.
