Room had a balcony with a view to the lagoon where we could see flamingos! Blackout curtains, TV, air conditioning, hot water and great water pressure. Drinking water right outside our door. Very conveniently located to go anywhere in town. Highly recommend.

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!

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.
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.
