Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a tour desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. The king room was a huge separate building and one of the comfiest beds ever. Tons of space. The pool was so refreshing, I saw tons of birds and iguana. The people were really friendly, and the kitchen had what you need to cook + some coffee in the morning. I appreciated that it was a little out of the way of the busy part of town, ~a 10 minute walk from the main stuff in town
