Hotel y Restaurante Mama Ines

There were both positives and negatives: Positives: 1) The location is great, offering direct access to the beach and a fine view of the ocean 2) We ate a couple of times at the restaurant and found the food to be really quite good and reasonably priced 3) The staff were friendly and helpful 4) The bed was comfortable and, when it worked, the wifi was adequate for normal usage Negatives: 1) The room was dirty and had cock roaches in the shower. 2) We had only two towels for two people for three days and no hand towels, beach towels or glasses. 3) When we asked the staff for more of the above they responded quickly including fumigating the room. However, they indicated that these were not normal requests. So, be prepared to ask for everything other than the bare essentials 4) We came primarily to take a coiba tour. We asked the manager for a recommendation, which he gave us (Ocean Blue Tours). He assured us that the guides spoke English. WE noticed that he ?/hotel took a 'deposit' from us which was subtracted from the charge from the tour guide but thought that he would have a vested interest in giving a good recommendation. To use an American idiom, the tour was a giant rip off. No English was spoken , I could not snorkel at all because the equipment was so bad, no effort was made by the guides to explain any of the area in any language, we could not go on a hike into the island or visit a bay with a concentration of turtles, lunch was comprised of some cold pasta with canned tuna thrown in. In summary, do not go with Ocean Blue and do not trust the manager to give an unbiased recommendation. As to the hotel, while the location was nice, we would not go back

Wir, 2 Frauen um die 60, wollten im Restaurant des Mama Ines etwas essen und würden eine halbe Stunde von dem Kellner missachtet, obwohl er uns von Anfang an gesehen hat. Auch nachdem wir uns bemerkbar gemacht haben, würden wir nicht bedient. Garnicht empfehlenswert
