Guest reviews for La Balsa

"Fernando is an awesome host! He has a big laugh and a big heart. He has a tree right outside of his property that he puts half an orange and seeds to attract beautiful native birds. A cardinal landed while I was enjoying breakfast. He says watching the birds is his TV. He cooked a fish dinner my first night that was absolutely delicious, and the breakfasts are fantastic and huge. Great coffee, great fresh fruit, great bread, local spreads from different fruits. The room has an amazing view of this wild and rugged sandy beach, and the room feels like you’re staying in a cool Nantucket Beach House."

"More time there."

"Hotelzinho confortável entre a lagoa e a praia. Fernando o proprietário é super simpático e atencioso. Quarto super limpo e cheiroso"

"Tivemos problemas com o ar condicionado na primeira noite mas foi resolvido rapidamente no dia seguinte. Atente-se q os quartos ficam em cima do restaurante do mesmo proprietário, então durante o dia ouve-se o movimento do restaurante, mas a noite é de manhã cedo e bem tranquilo. Ficaria lá novamente com certeza!"

"Lugar increíble. Si te gusta la naturaleza no te equivocas, éste es sin duda. Tranquilidad absoluta, atardeceres soñados, la fauna un capítulo aparte y si esto fuera poco la calidez de sus dueños. Fernando un máster en la cocina. Ah y la playa espectacular toda para nosotros. Un diez!!!!."

"Todo me gustó"
