This was brilliant, it was walking distance from the collection point for the end of the tour for everyone to return to the airport for their onward flights. I wanted to spend a few days relaxing before we returned to the mainland to catch onward flights to Peru. This turned out to be an act of genius on my part, because after 7 days on a boat, we literally were practically falling over when we walked and were in no shape to fly much less climb a mountain!
The location is just as pictured, our room had an uninterrupted view of the ocean (not all rooms do) from the 2nd floor (no elevator). The staff collected our things, carried them up, opened up the room and let us be. With the intention of freshening up and going out for a bite, we collapsed on the comfortable beds and slept for hours in the middle of the day. The temperature was perfect, the room was quiet and no-one bothered us during this unexpected nap. We were directed to a "local laundry" around the corner where we dropped off all of our soggy and smelly clothes from our trip (it was a Sunday) and they told us we could come back either later in the day or the next day to pick them up. This was fantastic as we weren't likely to have a chance to get laundry done prior to the next leg of our trip. Oh and it was cheap.
Since it was Sunday not much was opened, but we were able to find food and were basically the only tourists in town as this was the lull time between the tour departures and the new arrivals. The locals were very friendly and everyone spoke Spanish and English, mostly everyone had a business, yet no-one hounded you for tips or pushed you to buy things (the cruises make too much of a point of reminding you about the tipping, so although as American's it is our custom, this starts to rub you to irritation after awhile) The hotel staff, restaurant staff, shop vendors, etc have a very relaxed attitude about everything, as a result we were able to truly relax too.
Breakfast was on the back porch outside, very lovely, but the birds are tricky and bold, so watch your food! The seals are everywhere, which is kind of cool and a bit wacky.
The taxi from the hotel back to the airport was about $5 USD. I hope to return for another boat trip (different islands) and would definitely stay a few days before and after again. The only con was the water pressure in the shower, more like a dribble, but in all fairness we never said anything so they never had a chance to correct.
