I love the view from my room, clean. Free breakfast made to order enough to fill u up from eggs to pancakes with juice coffe and fruit plate. The staff extremely friendly and señor
Ramiro help us rent a mula to move around the island, i recommend it to see all island. But if u dont want to spend to much money the bus passes right in front of the guest house and it passes by el centro, airport and the bech.

By The Sea Guesthouse is a bit far from downtown, but in a quiet area, which is nice! It's a 20,000 to 25,000 COP taxi ride to go downtown but easy to find a taxi and only takes a few minutes.

Price was very reasonable.

Breakfast was delicious. The staff was great. Very helpful. Room was very clean and nice.

We had the Standard Triple Room, Ocean View, which I think was the nicest room. Not all rooms have an ocean view. The ocean is right across the street and the view was delightful.

Overall a very pleasant stay and I would love to return and stay there again.

By the Sea Guesthouse was quite comfortable and a good value for the price. The location is on the other side of the main town but buses frequently passed during the day so getting to the town was easy. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast every morning was delicious and the perfect way to start the day. Overall good experience and I would recommend staying here for someone who is looking for a place to rest up for the adventures of the day or for someone with a family. If you are looking to be close to the nightlife or malecón Downtown may be a better option. Bonus is that the AC and WiFi both worked great 👍 Thanks to By the Sea Guesthouse for helping make our trip very enjoyable!

The property was clean and located very near to the water… I think it’s important to note that the staff are completely Spanish-speaking, which was not unexpected but if you have no ability to speak any Spanish that could present a little bit of an issue for you. Never been to the island before, the location of this property might not be as appealing as the opposite side where there are more shops and restaurants steps away overall, it was a good place to stay.

I am very careful when i leave negative reviews as it impacts the livelihood of business or individual.
Pros
Its a beautiful clean property, i stayed in room 201 that is oversized room with large oversized king bed, very comfortable mattress, clean sheets and comfy pillow. Very good air conditioning.
You can see ocean at the eye level from your bed.
Nice balcony to sit and drink coffee and wine watching the sunset.
Delicious healthy breakfast with options that will fill you until lunch. clean kitchen and dinning area where you can cook your dinner.
Friendly staff.
Cons
The property is located in isolated area and the nearest supermarket is 1.5 kms, so buy the water, juices, beer and snacks for your evenings and night.
Poor hot water. Its disappointing when you come back sweaty at night from excursions and have to take cold showers and especially you paid $90 a night.
The television has literally 4 Spanish channels that is very boring during the curfew as you are locked in the room at 8.00 PM.

Hospedagem perfeita, comida perfeita, funcionários maravilhosos, TEM ÁGUA QUENTE (que dizem ser um hotel ou outro da ilha), ônibus passa na porta (6000 pesos).

Único ponto negativo: só é distante do centro (12min). Mas para quem busca conforto é silencioso e perfeito.

Voltaria novamente.
