Very Good

La ubicación era muy buena, la cocina estaba bien equipada y el personal amable. Podrían limpiar un poco la entrada trasera que daba mucha pena y muy mala imagen.
Really great vibe and very chill. Can't beat $1.50 beers and $1 happy hour special. Beers are on the "honor system" because as three part says when you arrive, "you are family now."
Friendly place, great service, comfortable room. Would stay here again.

Good for a quick stay
OK for the one night I needed. Owner was very helpful and friendly. Nice deck with plenty of hammocks. Conveniently located next to the water taxi station for access to the other islands. Soap in room but no towel ,but provided upon request.

On the water
This accommodation is not on the beach it is on the water. It's basic. Good if you want to do water sports.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by hotel staff and volunteers. They helped us out of the water taxi and getting our luggage to the reception area. We were given a brief summary of the hostel dos and don'ts right away. The hostel was clean, so was our room and bathroom.
Definitely a great experience!
Buena habitación mediana con AC y baño. La cocina está okay. Zona común es grande y con un bar.
Hay bastante ruido alrededor del hostal con música y gente trabajando en muelles con lo que puede dificultar el sueño.
Localisation parfaite dans le village de Old Bank. Hôtel sur pilotis à l'ambiance très cool et sereine, comme un air de paradis!
Le personnel et le capitaine Andrew sont adorables et proposent de bonnes excursions.
Dommage, cette ile pourrait être parfaite si elle n'était pas si sale :-(
Séjour de 4 nuits fantastiques. Chambre très simple mais lieu magique face a la mer. Literie correcte . Personnel sympathique. Des excursions sont proposées.
Bien situé dans old bank. Point negatif …. Eau froide pour la douche
