My wife and I had a great experience here. The owners are very friendly and helpful with planning for the trip to Isla de la plata. We were planning only a couple days stay, but ended up staying for a week. Sometimes the owner has some projects underway, and when we came they could use some assistance, so we worked... More

Hotel Maxima has a mix of rooms, while we were there it was being rennovated and extended so some were a work in progress. However the completed rooms are clean and well looked after. Mosquito nets are a little old and not so effective so you may want to use your own. Having said that I wasn't bitten. The communal... More

We really liked this place. It was very comfortable and it's clean. we loved all the pets, especially spike and calico (the cat who would visit our room). It has a really nice garden, good outdoor kitchen, lots of hammocks and good wifi. It's also a good place to meet other travelers. It's just a short walk to the beach... More

Staying here is definately a good deal if you are tight on budget. The room was good, the mattresses were worn outt, but ok for a couple of days. The common bathrooms were kept clean, but could do with a make over. The kitchen was not so great, could do with more utensils and a good deal of cleaning. But... More

Afew minutes from the beach, restaurants and bars. I should mention that they organize tours. One which I went on was Whale Watching which was incredible,... More

Planned to stay 5 days, but stayed only 2 nights... The place is not well-maintained, mosquito nets are useless (full of holes) and there were cockroaches, mosquitoes and grasshoppers all over. The open-air kitchen is well-equipped but dirty. Nice ample grounds and with a bit of effort it could be a very nice place to stay.

Stayed for 3 nights in a private room with 2 beds, tv and private bathroom. Room size okay on ground floor so heard people above quite easily through floorboards. Beds were quite hard so didn't sleep that well. Bathroom had good hot water but was a bit old and dirty. Odd service, one day got the bathroom cleaned and nothing... More
