"The Cabana was nice and clean, had all we needed to make the stay easy and happy. At first I thought it would be to far out of the way, but not at all. The location was actually perfect for visiting Bocawina Falls, and Hopkins. Also we were happy with the airco, and sat at the roof top enjoying the view of field and mountains. A very nice surprise at the edge of town, and enough resorts around the beach taking care of our dinners."

"Perfect location, their is a supermarket just next door. The saff is very helpfull and friendly. The only thing I would add is a place to unpack your clothes. The property has no storing nor hangers for your clothes. In the bathroom there are no towel hooks which could be nice to have. The toiletries could have more comfortable dispensers and not just small wooden cups"

"This was a great location. Nice roomy cabana, with a porch. Nice pool and sunning area. Comfortable king-sized bed. Four fans kept the room comfortable in February, but in later months, I could see where no A/C would make this uncomfortable for travellers not acclimated to the heat. No host, access is via a lockbox. Bikes available for free. While technically in the center of Hopkins, you really are south of where everything is, so expect to walk 10 blocks to go anywhere... The bikes are...
