KALENA 4 Playa Bonita DAT

The cabin was filthy, and the sofa smelled like cat urine. The water heater has no medium setting, and the Wi-Fi doesn’t reach the only TV. They left just one hand towel for five people. The sign with general recommendations says towels are replaced every three days and breakfast is dry, but we’d been there 72 hours and hadn’t received anything. It also asks guests to leave everything clean and wash the dishes so staff can count the utensils. There are only three spoons.

The owner was very attentive, and we had a good stay. The patio was spacious, and ibises came by every day. The cabin itself has plenty of room, with a large living and dining area and roomy bedrooms. It’s two blocks from the beach and several shops, and there’s space to park. The kitchen had the appliances we needed, including a microwave, oven, refrigerator, toaster and electric kettle, but no dishes. Cleaning was my only real criticism: it felt like they’d done a quick pass without checking details, like the open package of cookies left on the counter.

We were comfortable and had a great time, and we would return. The bandurrias in the garden were lovely, and the location felt pleasant. Even in a cool February, the heater worked perfectly. We liked it! A few decorative touches and more cups and plates would have been ideal. The cabin is simple, with a comfortable bed and a new bathroom where a hot shower feels great. The kitchen needs updating, but we managed. There were just two of us, though the cabin is for five or more. Going downstairs to the bathroom at night was a bit awkward 🤪, but most cabins have that at this price-quality ratio.

Lovely cabins with a comfortable layout and good equipment. The service was good, and the location made it easy to explore the best spots or go downtown. They do need some maintenance, and I wasn’t happy with the cleanliness.
