El Refugio de Coquena

Our room was not fit for animals to stay there. The pool was literally half-full of water, the room was tiny with absolutely zero sitting area in the room (just a bed cramped in the room), and there was zero circulation or air conditioning. The room was tiny and hot. Like a bed inside a suana. For the first time in my life, I refused to stay in a room that I reserved. It was that bad. Temperature and space wise, it was unfit for use as anything above an Iraqi prison cell. Our room was not fit for animals to stay there.

Temperature and space wise, it was unfit for anything above an Iraqi prison cell. Only the owners and their family would rate this above a 3.0. I cannot believe this place was listed as 10.0. I asked for my money back and that was refused.

Nice location with a view of the colourful hills behind the village, and within walking distance of the village square and restaurants. But sadly the room was pretty basic, with very poor soundproofing to the room below (where yelling and screaming children running about and slamming doors all day were highly annoying). The wifi was poor and intermittent. The pool looked uncared-for. The reception young man spoke no English, and seemed totally disinterested. The buffet breakfast was dull and meagre, with the coffee described as undrinkable by my coffee-loving companion.

Punmamarca is gorgeous. The best town in the area. And this hotel was cute, convenient. The only thing is it did not have AC and the windows didn’t have a screen. But other than that, it was nice
