Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast

Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed in the only apartment. It. Was across the street from the rest of the hotel. OVery spacious. One l large bedroom with a queen size bed, living room with record player and a few old records, a sofa/ sleeper, open dining area, and kitchen with tableware, a few pots and pans, tableware… No dishrags or drying mat. Very cozy The staff friendly and helpful. Great home made breakfast. Great view all the way to the Atlántico 0cean. Very enjoyable stay. Great soda and convenience store next to hotel. The town is 5 mins walk from hotel. Quite A steep walk. The town does not have much to offer. Get the hotel to reserve activities for you. We did most of the planning and reservations by email."
