"Nos alojamos dos noches y tuvimos una mala experiencia. Las instalaciones no son lujosas, pero están limpias. La segunda mañana no hubo agua caliente, tienen problemas con los calentadores, así que salimos sin poder bañarnos. Una noche hubo corte de electricidad y no tienen generador. El clima es caluroso en Machala, así que sin electricidad, hace calor"
