    I would recommand this nice hotel but I suggest that they improve their "caring" for the clients...

    However I had an incident in the hotel with a wood stair that broke and I hurt myself quite roughly and the manager was poorly involved in helping me to get to the clinic or in blocking the stairs so that my kids or other persons would not fall within the hole. I found him negligent. The other staff (woman cleaning the place) was very nice.

    The place is nice and central to the village. From the patio we can see the mangrove which is calm and beautiful. Some cultural activities are organized within the village (cooking, etc). No breakfast included but there is a nice outside kitchen that can be used for cooking or getting things in the fridge.

    Bed was very firm. One wall of the room was made entirely of sticks and the wind kept us awake one night. Water doesn't work late at night.

    Great ambiance, I love the hammocks and the view of the ciénaga. Carlos was helpful to every request we had.

    There is nowhere to put your bags as rooms are very small or not much place to hang you wet swimsuit or towels. Unfortunately other travelers making noise, don't clean shoes from sand and smoke cigarettes while it's prohibited but this is just behaviour issue not the place itself.

    Very helpful and nice staff. Especially Carlos, he can organise everything! Rooms are very basic but you have fans, big bed, mosquito net, shower and great view! (We were upstairs with mangroves view). Kitchen well equipped and you have fresh coffee made every morning. 2min to the beach.

    Honestly, I love every detail about this place! When I arrived, I had already spent some days in Rincon Del Mar at one of the hostels by the ocean (which was supernice) but Casa en La Cienaga topped with a different, great experience. A very quiet, classy hostel facing the mangroves, offering a beautiful sunrise every morning. Room was great too, clean and spacious and light. I extended my stay. Recommend!

    - My room had a small terrace and you couldn't 100% close the door so it kind of felt like you're outside - not the ideal place for a solo traveller but you do meet fellow travellers in town at lunch, the beach, for tours or at one of the hostel bars

    - Nice clean rooms, very comfortable beds with mosquito nets - Very nice kitchen/social area - Staff was super friendly and helpful - Good value for money - located 2mins walking to the beach but with a nice view of the mangroves

    Due to most of the places are next to a lake, when the day is so sunned, the temperature feels hot. However, in this hostel, the wind is high and the sensation gets more attenuated.

    It is a comfortable place to rest in middle of a native population. This place is near the beaches, restaurants and principal street.

    Location isn't great. Quite noisy. Lots of building happening. The rooms are not at all sound proof. All the guests were French. No issue with the French but would be nice to have variety of cultures.

    The room itself was nice enough. Staff friendly. Better to get a place when you arrive. The North beach is much nicer than the town and there are quite a few nice places not online.

    Some of the rooms are not located right at the swamp, but actually on the land. Ours was one of it. There is a small terrace there but it borders with another property. As the fence is not very high (on the other side of ours was a pile of wood) and you are unable to close the door (nor lock it or fully close it, there is like 15cm break left) then it makes you feel really insecure (trust me, a 5 year old could jump over the fence). When we asked the staff why it is like that, they said 'it's the design'. Additionally, on our last morning neighbours decided to put a fire out of plastic bottles right next to our room... Walls don't end up at the ceiling but a couple of cms below - both interior and exterior. It makes you hear everything what happens outside as well as what other guests are doing (and I do mean everything). Internet was almost non existent, it worked only for 15min after reseting the router.

    Staff is very friendly and supportive. The view on the swamp is amazing (but it also stinks a lot). The design of the place is really nice (not very practical though). It is also located in a quiet part of the town. Additionally we got a bigger room than ordered which was nice.

    The bathrooms smelled terrible from the swamp water flowing through the pipes. I had to hold my breath if I wanted to use the restroom.

    Located on the edge of the mangrove, it seems to be shielded from the loud music blasting in town. I loved that the room had an enclosed terrace that could be closed off from the room.
