Interaction with guestsWhen all the rooms are not rented, we love to stay overnight at the property. We spend endless hours on the property and we interact as much as we possibly can with all our guests. When the opportunity arises, we love to go out with our guests, on a tour to some local attraction, or, for a drink at a local neighborhood bar or even a snack at a local restaurant. Any proposal to go out is always welcome.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Great place to stay, very reasonable price
The room was exactly as pictured -- clean, charming and completely adequate. Hosts Kristine and Allain were extremely helpful. Would absolutely recommend Casitas Kinsol and hope to stay there again!

The season is from May to October.

Help to protect these animals. - snorkel and swim with the largest fish in the world: the whale sharks. These giants are inoffensive and they are willing to share their waters with the tourists.
