I really enjoyed the coziness and welcoming vibe. The bed was really comfortable and the hostel has everything you need. The vibe is not only created by the place, but also by the people and Cedric and Noemi are the proof. They are friendly, helpful, organized and they really care a lot.

TABASCO is a pleasant Mexican-style oasis with friendly French hosts, uniquely located near the beach, restaurants, and bars. I was pleasantly surprised not only by the generous breakfast but also by the fact that they served freshly baked pastries made by their own hands. I also appreciated that they lent me beach chairs, provided beach towels, and even did quite a lot of my laundry. Other small details—like ice cubes in containers or insect repellent—only added to the thoughtful care the hosts showed. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. I especially liked that there were two sinks in the bathroom. I highly recommend it.

Stunning location right on the beach in a quiet fishing town. Lovely staff, very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious! Nice and clean. Room had a fan and a mosquito net. Amazing to fall asleep to the sound of the ocean 😊 Easy to get over to beautiful playa guiones by car/tuk-tuk/bus/hitch hiking or walk for 25min on road then 30min on beach (lovely walk!) if you’re up for it.

My favourite beach stay! Staff were lovely. Location was incredible, right on the beach. Lots of chill out spots to relax on the sand, the shade of a magnificent tree. The Italian food was incredible!! Rooms were very clean! I wish could have stayed longer, but I will definitely go back!

Beautiful room and property. Very well maintained. Strategic location only minutes from a variety of beautiful and diverse beaches. A bit of two worlds: in a neighborhood of countryside feel only minutes from ocean rustic beaches and beach resorts. Very thoughtful and comfortable set up in the room. The separate open kitchenette area allows refrigerating local ripe fresh fruits for example which is something I really appreciate. Kitchen is well equipped to cook meals.

This B&B is an absolute Gem. The cozy rooms with outdoor shower to the private beach front that has front row experience of daily sunset to the best service and breakfast each day. It was all magical.

Right on the beach which meant we could maximise the fact we were just there for one night. The room was lovely and the place has a really nice and safe feel about it. We loved the cats! Breakfast was absolutely delicious and generous! We loved having a big local breakfast with plenty of choice and coffee as well as juice was a treat!

It is so beautiful. The grounds are beautifully maintained without being fussy. The bars and bar staff were excellent and there were plenty of spots to just hang out and enjoy the view of the water. Being on the beachfront was wonderful.
