Hotel Kangroo made my trip! I booked 2 nights and ended up staying the remaining 4 days there to finish off the trip of a lifetime. The staff is well versed in spanish, as well as english. Cheap, hands on surf lessons, very familiar with the area and can reccomend eateries, hiking trails, taxis, everything you want to know. Wildlife... More

After staying in lots of different types of accommodation throughout Central America, my partner and I are in agreement that Hotel Kangaroo was our favourite, without a doubt. EXTREMELY reasonably priced for all that is included; we felt spoilt rotten! We had one of the nicest rooms we've seen in months (gorgeous artwork, extremely clean, beautiful touches everywhere with lamps/lighting... More

I appreciate that the owners- Claire and Jesus- knew their... More
