We stayed 14 days on the top floor (Fire Room) at the Elements of the Island over Christmas and New Year of 2011-12. Madgid greeted us with a big hug and smile, just like we were old friends. The room was very spacious, the kitchen was just sufficient for our needs and the bathroom had a beautiful Mexican style sink.... More

we spent there a couple of days and were very happy about the great atmosphere - Madgid is a very friendly host, helped wherever help and information was needed. The apartment is like an oasis - well equipped and very comfortable. The restaurant offers delicious breakfast as most of the things are homemade and the yoga class are great! In... More

Madgid at Elements offered us a very good rate so that needs to be taken into consideration here. The position is very central and some elements are good - prompt response to emails and M was a very smiley host.  Unfortunately though taking lots of small details into account we felt that the place looked a bit sad and was...

Elements of the Island offers a great location steps to North Beach, one of my favorite beaches in the world. It offers 3 studio apartments which are well maintained and equipped. The AC works well.

We love Elements of the Island especially for their breakfast. The coffee is amazing and so is the homemade bread and jams. I also love the yogurt and fresh fruit. We have never stayed at in their rooms or taken advantage of the yoga classes they offer. When we come back it will be one of our first stops! More

John and Monica do a great European brekky. I went back several times in the month i was staying on the island. Their homemade bread is a bit crumbly but ever so tasty. They also do a decent bircher muesli. Just take your bug cream. They've got a pretty jungly courtyard out back which means there's a few mosquitoes. More

Elements of the island is a small hotel (only 3 rooms) built next to their great little cafe in the center of Playa Norte - downtown Isla. Staff was very kind, rooms were small but suitable, and breakfast was delicious! It's not high end but met our needs - clean bed, stocked kitchenette, dorm fridge, and clean bathroom (no hot... More

We had the second floor apartment for a week. The room was nice and our hosts were great. Only 3 apartments share the courtyard and deck. The cafe serves great breakfasts and lunches. There were yogo classes on the deck about the third floor but we hardly noticed them. Elements is in the heart of the downtown area with lots... More

We were pleased with the room we had. It had lots of good light and a generally good feel. The owner was very nice and helpful. The homemade breakfasts were excellent. They used good quality ingredients. More
