Isla - The Island Experience offers guests a unique stay with a strong emphasis on natural beauty and simplicity. Many travelers appreciate the comfort of the beds, often finding them more pleasant than expected. Several reviews highlight the inviting and well-made beds, accompanied by the added charm of waking up to a breathtaking view. Despite the basic bedding, guests frequently describe the beds as either comfortable or very good.
However, for those over 1.85 meters tall, the beds may prove a bit short, potentially leaving feet against the mosquito net, which sometimes fits imperfectly and may have holes. A few travelers note that the double beds can be narrow for two people, and the pillows and bedding don't always reach optimal comfort. The accommodations are minimalistic, which may not suit those seeking four-star standards. Bathrooms are described as basic and, at times, lacking in cleanliness.
Travelers staying in cheaper bungalows might find their quarters quite small, with limited luggage space, and the absence of air conditioning may be a drawback for some. Nevertheless, the blend of simplicity and the natural environment provides a distinctive experience for adventurous travelers open to rustic island life.
Isla - The Island Experience offers a mixed bag when it comes to cleanliness, but there are notable highlights that guests have appreciated. The general sentiment is positive, with many visitors praising the overall cleanliness of the cabins, huts, and beach areas. The private and communal restrooms, while varied in feedback, received commendation for being clean and well-maintained on several occasions. Many reviews describe the toilets as spotless and the showers as very clean, creating a welcoming atmosphere for guests.
However, some areas seem to need more attention. While the general areas and breakfast space are maintained and suitable for guests to retreat to private spaces, other shared facilities like the bathrooms have received criticism for not meeting expectations at times. There are mentions of a lack of daily cleaning, with occasional odors and inadequate lighting in some shared showers and bathrooms. This contrast suggests that while many aspects of the hotel meet cleanliness standards, improvements in certain communal areas could enhance the overall guest experience.
Despite these inconsistencies, the friendly staff and the overall pleasant environment, combined with the well-maintained private spaces, still manage to provide a comfortable stay where cleanliness is generally well-regarded.
