"Paradise and peace. We loved it at Margarita del Sol. Although, the drive from the town to the hotel, not the hotel’s fault, was really rough. Please remember to purchase food before you get there as you won’t want to leave to traverse the road back into town. Lulu is lovely and extremely kind and helpful. "

"No es lo que esperaba. El baño estaba sucio, la sabana manchada, muchos moscos. Bastante fria la noche y solo dejaron una sabana delgada. Solo habia agua fria para bañarse. La playa muy sucia, con sargazos y basura, si la limpiaran les ayudaria mucho. La cena horrible, primera vez en una cabaña y no fue agradable. El chico que nos atendio fue muy amable. "
