Pousada Paloma

Breakfast was excellent.

Room was very small and noisy. There was a strong drainage smell. The internet was poor.

We really like the location and the way that people who work there treat us

The smell in bathroom was a point to get better

Lovely place on Isla Grande. Very friendly and helpful staff. It's a short walk to the beach and town. Breakfast is good and on the terrace.

Nothing I didn't like.

The common areas of the pousada are nice. That is the nicest part of the place. The reception staff was very friendly and professional. The breakfast/kitchen staff were less friendly. One woman there in particular was really grumpy each day.

I can't speak for any other room than Room #5, where I stayed. I was probably the cheapest room in the pousada so I guess I probably got what I paid for. And now I see other reviews saying the same things that I am: Things that were really bad about Room #5: It had a very strong smell of mold in the room and the bathroom smelled like sewar gas. Closing the drain cover helped the reduce the sewer gas smell. The room has no direct sunlight and little ventilation. It is VERY noisy because it is directly below the kitchen and has an open space outside the only window that is directly below the kitchen. So the noise (banging, plates, voices etc) starts early with breakfast and end late with dinner. If you want the window open, you have to listen to the noise and voices. There is also loud fan in the shower that runs continuously to keep some air moving. The bathroom is so tiny it's hard for even me, a small to regular sized person to move in it. The shower hot water is electric so the pressure needs to slow to a trickle to get hot water. I asked to move, mostly because of the mold smell, but there were no other rooms available. Trying to use the internet here was basically useless. I'm glad I was only there for 2 nights.
