ホテル・ヴィスタ・マール

I was also lucky, my room, 13, was at the end of the building with full sea view, balcony and a great terrace with two hammocks right beside my door. This could have not been better. Simple but decent room, shower ok, no complaints. Number 13 is not an unlucky number after all. Number 11 was, thus is what I had but switched right away due to AC issues. Parking is limited but most tourist don't drive to the island, so me being lucky again, I have the only spot right beside the hotel. Pictures attached. Diner also at the hotel, excellent food, met the cook, she would have donde anything to keep people happy. I had a delicious calamari dinner. Perfectly cooked. Staff was very friendly. They let me check in at 9 am when arrived by ferry and even offered me breakfast because the next morning had to check out at 6 to get to the ferry. I didn't wanted, wanted to head out right away but that was a nice gesture.

I will first remember Nosario, their Mr. Fixit who fixed our A/C, programmed our Panama SIM card phone, stored our luggage, gave us ACCURATE directions to a hardware store, and returned my wallet left in our room. The head lady at reception was also competent, helpful and proactive. One waitress was clueless from beginning to end. Food was fine, right on the dock. There's a great balcony on second floor looking out on the bay. Central location for everything. This is a good compromise between staying at a hostel and staying at a 3-star hotel. Q: Why do National China corporate interests get to build huge buildings on the water when everyone else seems to have to follow other rules? If China continues to gentrify this charming town, I'm out of there, like the locals and perhaps everyone else who doesn't want to spend $1,000/day

Me hospedé por segunda vez hace una semana y fué suficiente para decidir no volver. En la primera ocasión me sacaron de la habitación y me bajaron a una de menor categoría para dársela a un huésped "VIP" (considero que el que ya está en casa debe tener la prioridad) y la segunda vez reporté que el aire acondicionado no funcionaba y me dijeron que lo revisarían. Me fuí a un tour todo el día y cuando regresé, nisiquiera se molestaron en revisarlo. A las 1:08am finalmente les escribí al WhatsApp ya que no aguantábamos más el calor. Esperamos un tiempo pero no respondieron por lo que mi novio bajó a la recepción a hacer el reporte. El chico que estaba intentó ayudar pero aclaró que no sabe nada de aire y solo estaba cuidando. Finalmente a las 2:30am nos cambiaron de habitación. Nunca respondieron mi mensaje en whatsapp, nunca se disculparon, se notaba que no hubo interés y más bien nos hicieron sentir como si fuimos una molestia.
