4/5 - Good
Very difficult to get cash. the one ATM would not recognize our card. The people are helpful and we found a couple of places to use credit cards to eat. Nutria at Natural Selection was excellent& able to book boats and tours on Visa here.






Very nice hotel, very helpful staff. The location is perfect, hotel is very clean.

Yellow Heron house is beautiful and functional. We were a two-family group of seven, it was perfect and we were all very comfortable. We had breakfast together at the very well designed and artful dining table every morning, that was such a great way to start each day. The kitchen was well equipped ...

We were very comfortable and Elena was an amazing host. Thank you so much for being flexible with our schedule too! We would take 4 flights from our home in Canada to stay at the Flip Flop House again anytime!

Everything is excellent except it is a bit far - 10/15 walk to town…was good for me.

Explore the great outdoors at Concha de Perla Nature Park, a lovely green space in Puerto Villamil. While you're in the area, stroll along the marina.
El Embarcadero Pier is just one of the places to see in Puerto Villamil, so why not enjoy the other things to explore during your travels? Wander the marina and parks while you're in the area.
You can take time to visit Posada de Flamengos during your travels to Puerto Villamil. Stroll along the marina or discover the area's volcano viewpoints.

Relaxed beach town. Lots of food and tour options
Puerto Villamil is a very small, quaint little town with dirt roads, a handful of restaurants and shops, and wonderfully friendly locals. If you want a relaxing and peaceful vacation, this is the perfect little town. Would come back in a heartbeat.
Several island activities available to young and mature individuals (volcano hike, snorkeling, biking, etc.)
Small, unbelievably friendly, and super relaxed.
It's a very small, easily walkable town. The beautiful beach is lined with scenic coconut trees. Next to the harbor is Concha de Perla, a shallow area good for snorkeling. A 1.5 km trail passes by flamingos and leads to a tortoise breeding center.
