Great owner and host. He provided us with so many suggestions of places to visit around the island. Since the moment we arrived he made us feel welcome. The room was clean, pillows and mattress were comfortable, hot water and great water pressure for showers. They even have a drinkable water bottle for free to refill.

Very budget friendly. Flavio is a wonderful host. When our ride did not arrive for a tour, he asked us who we booked with and got someone to pick us up within 2 minutes as he knows everyone in town. Basic accommodation but that is all you need on a this island. Great snorkeling spots are a short walk away.

For such a good rating it was a very disappointing stay. Good points: very walkable into town. Clean bathroom and furniture/floors. Cleaning staff very helpful. Staff pleasant when approached. Bad points: staffing very poor attendance at reception. Only key given on check in, no information whatsoever. Bedding still had detergent powder in areas. No water available for 2 days. Aircon leaked all down curtain and onto belongings.

Great stay!

We had a great stay at Hotel insular. Flavio can help you with anything from booking tours to laundry to bike rentals to making you a cheap and delicious breakfast right at the hotel. We enjoyed our room and the location was great. The shared kitchen and drinking water were appreciated. Air conditioning and hot water if you need it.

Basic room

I was happy that they let me enter the room early after I arrived from the ferry. The room had no soap or toiletries. The fitted sheet had some old stains. For the price I paid, I would go back. There was hot water and AC.
