I picked this hotel b/c its proximity to the waterfront. The rooms are clean and they provide you with whatever essentials you need. I was tucked away in the back and i preferred it that way. The front desk staff were very helpful. The breakfast food was really good.

A friend and I stayed at the Ninfa for 3 nights. We found the hotel to be clean and friendly. We particularly enjoyed the outside courtyard area that had a bar and pool, and hung out there at the end of the day. Bartenders Jesus and Andre made good margaritas and G&Ts, something we found to be a rarity in the islands. Front desk staff were polite and helpful. We stayed in one of the 2nd floor balcony rooms that over looked the pool area. Bring a portable clothesline if you want to dry your stuff after a day on the water. We had an unbooked open night at the end of our trip and liked the Ninfa well enough to book our last night there, as well.

Very convenient location a block away from the Main Street and pier that takes you on day trips (ferry pier only a little further away) Large clean room. Cleaners come every day with new towels. Hot tub is great but you have to ask them to turn it on and they only do it in afternoon. Breakfast was great Los of options. Staff was friendly.

This hotel is conveniently located, near shops, restaurants, the marina, everything! The rooms were clean, delicious breakfast variety, pool and jacuzzi very clean. The staff is superb! Off the charts! We had a 6am departure and they were able to accommodate our breakfast. They helped us hanging to dry our wetsuits. Very family friendly. We did not utilize the laundry service, but there was availability if needed. If we ever return, we will definitely stay here again!

Nice location close to grocery stores and the port along with dining options. Nice room and shower with a decent pool and hot tub. The only negative things are the Wi-Fi isn't very good and barely worked in the room ( a common problem here) and they play music at the pool right outside my room starting at 6 am to ten pm. Good thing I needed to be up anyway.

Honestly better than expected and left wanting nothing. The highlights: breakfast buffet, a bar, a pool, a jacuzzi, and billiards. Plus, downtown! I could spend all day there, and I did. The "suites" are super comfortable but in a separate building that doesn't offer wifi (the only downside of an otherwise 5-star experience). However, wifi is generally available in the common areas. The breakfast, despite pandemic, exceeded expectations. I'd factor that into the price of the room ($15+ value). The staff are top-notch. One of the "jefes" (Fernando) invited me over and introduced me to his friends. Traveled gentlemen. Speaks English. The manager, Marco, also speaks English. Super helpful. The bar manager, Jesus, is a young, friendly guy. Happy to help too. The breakfast staff over-accommodate. I basically had the place to myself -- a hidden gem. I almost feel guilty publicly exposing this place for how much value it offers but I wanna see these guys survive the pandemic because I'd recommend them to anyone.…

We stayed here on a Tui holiday. There were 11 in our group and we all got terrible diarrhoea. Four of our group had to get antibiotics from the Doctor in Santa Cruz and were so ill they couldn't continue the holiday to Isabella Island. When the 7 of us returned from Isabella at 8.30 am we had to wait till after 2 pm for our rooms despite other newly arriving guests after us being given their rooms. When we complained we were told that they like to give guests in a group their rooms at the same time, we said we were happy for them to allocate us our rooms as and when available so at least some of us wouldn't have to waste time sitting around but no, rules are rules. My husband and I were eventually allocated a double room at 2.30 despite booking a twin bed room. There was no water in the tap and the toilet didn't flush. Thankfully the shower did work so we improvised. Our group stayed here one more night by which time we all had diarrhoea. We have been home for two weeks now and are still ill. Some of our party have been diagnosed with a giardiasis parasitic infection and given antibiotics. One NHS doctor suggested we all get checked out and treated. When we arrived we were told that the water dispenser by the bar was drinkable and for us to top up our water bottles, which we duly did. However my husband noticed that the staff didn't drink from there but used bottled water from behind the bar. Could this have been the reason so many of us got ill? We have travelled to many countries around the world with poorer hygiene standards than the UK and have never been in a group where everyone got ill and are still ill weeks after arriving home.…

Located very close to the harbour we chose the hotel for an overnight stay to facilitate an evening arrival by ferry from one of the islands and the early morning ferry to another the following day. A previous stay, a couple of years ago, had been disappointing, but it best served our purpose this time around so booked anyway. I am glad to report that the negatives found during our previous trip have been turned into positives. English speaking receptionist, assistance with luggage and a great breakfast served in time to catch the morning ferry. Fast check in and out - all just what we booked with no issues - great location for fast access to the ferries without the need for a taxis and of course being located close to the harbour, well located for shops and restaurants for evening entertainment.…
