Escuna Hotel Pousada

Really good.

Pretty good.

The rooms had a moldy smell, and there was no water in the morning. The water comes from a well, and I seriously doubt it’s treated. At times it was brackish and very dark. Breakfast was the saddest thing I’ve seen, especially for a price close to what other hotels charge. I asked for one triple room and one double room. The triple room had just one sheet and one towel. What sense does it make for a room for three people to have only one towel? I’d rather have paid for a night in a motel listening to moaning than put up with that air conditioner from another century. Here’s a tip for the owner: replacing those old air conditioners might save 70% on the electricity bill and leave money to hire at least one decent bricklayer. The polished bathroom floor is so slippery it could kill someone, and they had to put a flimsy anti-slip mat in the shower.

There was dust on the sheets, mold in the room, a bathroom door that wouldn’t close, and a dirty dining room. My room wasn’t cleaned, but they kept insisting it had been. It was an awful stay, like something out of a horror movie. The room was full of cockroaches, and the person in charge even suggested we had brought them in our luggage. That was absurd. The staff were also extremely intrusive, banging hard on the door and shouting in the corridors to call people for breakfast. One of the worst stays I’ve had. I absolutely don’t recommend it.
