I've been @ Santuario much longer than planned due to some health issue. So, I had the time to highly appreciate not only the hostel itself, the great vibe and atmosphere, the fantastic beds setup where you have plenty of space (!) plus an unusual total privacy, like you have a mini room inside a room, but especially the people: staff is great and really cares the guest, while sick I had a family like surveillance, especially Stefy ”la chica del bar”, Kathy (cleaning & kitchen) and Jose (maintenance) never missed supporting me and asking genuinely interested how I was feeling doing their best to help. In a difficult moment, I was in the right place, thanks them! One only thing disturbing me was, the aircon management: ok it was on only evening and night, quite usual, problem was a person feeling cold was enough to shut down the aircon for everyone... and it was hot then... i love freezing, ok, but a correct balance would be the best, suggesting who's cold to wear a t-shirt should work, and others won't sweat ;-)
The hostel is nice and in the prime area but the only thing I didn't like is that it lacks a common area and the terrace is closed most of the time except few hours. Also, you cannot eat or dine on the rooftop despite it being a nice seating area and they close around midnight! For a remote worker like me, this is a bad thing. Also in the amenities listed here, they included towels but it was not complementary! They only have pizza restaurant.. So no other dishes within hostel too.
Great location. I liked the privacy for each dorm bed. The free yoga and various activities were great too. Unfortunately the shower didn’t drain super well, so I was standing on the water in the shower and had to rinse my feet when out of the shower.
Lovely and friendly staff. Provided a number of activities. Rooms are hot and full of sand. Most of the vegetarian options had fake meat - it would be great if there was a vegetarian option that wasn’t the same texture as meat.
We spent 2 nights at the Oresca Hotel.
The owners are warm and super friendly.
Frokost of 7-9, it was very delicious with eggs,speck waffles and fresh fruits.
There was a surprisingly free massage on the first morning.
We will definitely recommend that we come back!
New hotel. Excellent location. The rooms are a bit small and lack adequate ventilation.
The price-quality ratio is good.
They do not offer lockers. The laundry service is cheap and good. The staff is attentive and friendly.
Internet access is very good. The common spaces are not very large but are well organized. You can enjoy your stay even if you have to work at the hostel during it.
