Best location in the area.
Perfect location, great food and a wonderful pool. We were let down by the room a little but if you dont plan on spending much time in the room dont worry about it. Wherever you stay bring bugspray

No b'fast as promised, no apology!
This hostel is a little walk away from the main street, by the lagoon. Fine if you have a backpack but difficult with a suitcase because of the sand! Checked in and the woman said she was new, plus she didn't speak English. We booked a double room and they said they didn't have one, the woman didn't know I understood Spanish and told the night porter to push some beds together. We insisted that we would like a double room - we just got engaged for goodness sake! She said yes to us, and again told the guy to push beds together. In the end we had a dorm room with double beds. The night porter was lovely and helped us up with our bags, with a smile too. No complaints about him! The following morning, after a cold shower (!) we went for our free breakfast that was included in the price, only to be told they don't do breakfast. We queried it at reception and the same woman said, quite curtly, that they could do it but we'd have to pay extra. Thinking this was unfair we got our bags and went to check out. The receptionist insisted we paid the full amount, even without our double room and promise of breakfast. We showed her our booking confirmation, the Hotels.com website, even other sites like booking.com where it said free breakfast included! She was still resistant. In the end she phoned the owner, who spoke to us and confirmed there was no breakfast and agreed we could pay a small discount. Really disappointing as it has a decent pool and could be good with better service!

Basic accommodation with friendly staff
The staff at Mr Llama Lodge were helpful and friendly, and did their best to make us feel comfortable and helped us book our dune buggy tour. The pool was large and clean and the location is good. There aren't any amenities in the room - or even any tables- just beds, and our shower was disappointing as the water came out like a hose. Nevertheless we had a nice time.

Meget lille værelse 4 sengsværelse , med toilet og bad bag en "skydedør" ind til badeværelset - dvs. Ikke meget privatliv. Men varmt vand. Hotellets service var fin, idet de kom ned for at spørge om de skulle købe noget med til os fra den nærliggende storby. Dog skulle vi bede om at få den morgenmad der var inkluderet i prisen, da de til at starte med blot gav os et menukort som vi kunne købe fra. Ikke gode til engelsk, men rigtig venligt personale. En fin pool som blev tilsat klor om aftenen og renset om morgenen.

The room feels like a prison cel
Room is very small, not enough room for 2 bags. Bathroom even smaller and doesnt look very clean. There isnt any thing to hang towel or clothes. No nightstand. Door is made off glass and steel so all light and noise comes through. Pool isnt very clean. Staff is friendly and helpfull.
