Puertas Al Cabo não possui energia elétrica, então não espere um serviço de hotel 5 estrelas. Há limitações. Porém, dentro da proposta, o atendimento foi excelente. É um destino muito específico e o contato com a natureza, incrível.

The bed was comfortable and breakfast was acceptable. There is a nice area to eat and socialize just outside of the hostel. Most of the staff was quite helpful and friendly.
The hostel is shown to be near Playa Sur on the Booking map. As a result, we paid extra to stay here with the expectation of easy beach access and good views. After trying to find the property for about 1.5 hours a representative got back to us and told us that the property was at a different location, on the main street. They apologized for the error but refused to cancel the booking or lower the price to something comparable to nearby inland properties. They did offer us dinner at no extra charge and the dinner was good. Our room has no view. Our bathroom had a lot of sand on the floor and no toilet paper. The hostel is next door to anther hostel which had music at night. Some may find it to be loud.

La atención tan amable, buena onda con una instalación limpia y en buenas condiciones. Sin perder la esencia de cabo polonio. Además de una excelente ubicación.
En realidad no tengo nada para decir.

La habitación estaba ok para lo que es el cabo polonio, la gente de la posada súper amable, nos prestaron sillas pudimos dejar las cosas allí, re bien.
En un momento de la nada se nos cortó el agua, volvió enseguida pero un embole, y no tiene electricidad en la habitación.

A true paradise in Cabo Polonio - the real deal. The kindness of the owners was incredible. The place is close to everything and the breakfast was very nice also. They offered us a Caipirinha as a welcome drink + they had candles and the fire ready for us. Totally recommended !!!

La ubicación es cerca de la entrada, llegas por la pasarela de madera de modo que es fácil el traslado del equipaje. Desde allí podes ir a la Playa La Calavera y al Sur. El desayuno está bien, podría tener alguna otra opción de cereales o yogurth, algunas frutas sin trozar por ejemplo. La atención es F A N T Á S T I C A el personal es impecable, muy atentos y cordiales. Se ajusta al lugar donde está, no tiene lujos ni comodidades suntuosas, lo necesario para descansar e higienizarse y disfrutar del ambiente y la playa.
No tengo comentarios negativos para el hostal, tampoco conocí otros hostales allí como para comparar.

El personal. Muy amables y prontos para solucionar cualquier inconveniente.
La relación calidad precio. La habitación tenía una ventana que daba al pasillo de entrada y era muy pequeña. El baño también era muy pequeño. Nada era coherente con el precio abonado.

Cabo Polônio é um local atípico, sem energia elétrica, com tudo muito limitado. A pousada tem sérias limitações, que me parece ser algo a ser esperado. Foi suficiente para minha principal necessidade: dormir
O banheiro é externo, conforme anunciado. Na prática ele fica na frente do quarto, separado pelo corredor. O cheiro do banheiro, visto que não tem nenhuma circulação de ar, é ruim. O café da manhã é muito simples e com quantidades limitadas.

Excelente ubicación con instalaciones comunes bien cuidadas, y buena disposición del personal. Muy rica la caipirinha.
La pieza era pequeña y calurosa.

O estilo de todo Cabo Polônio é muito simples e o local é nesse mesmo estilo, com um café da manhã gostoso, cama confortável, a noite fica muito charmoso com as luzes de velas, com restaurante anexo e os funcionários muito atenciosos.
Ao lado possui um bar com música alta até tarde.

Cabo Polonio era desconhecido pra mim, encontrava pouca informação na internet de como chegar até lá usando ônibus. Antes da minha estadia, a equipe foi muito solícita e me ajudou esclarecendo todas as dúvidas. Isso foi muito legal. Eles foram sempre dedicados.
A pousada é bem simples, mas o que corresponde ao ambiente da vila. O café da manhã era bem simples, mas suficiente. Os quartos não tem tomadas, mas você pode carregar seu celular ou power bank na vendinha (de graça por estar hospedado nessa pousada). O quarto é simples, banheiro também. Quando fui, em janeiro a água do chuveiro era quente. Fui bem recebido e recomendaria a pousada para quem busca uma opção em conta, mas sem luxo.
Gostei da localização, fica pertinho do ponto de parada do transporte para entrar na vila, isso ajuda para quem tem que carregar malas.
Como na vila não tem energia elétrica, poucos lugares tem wifii, e sinal de telefone não funciona. No restaurante da pousada você pode usar wifii, mas tem que pedir para liberarem o sinal pra você, poderia ser mais fácil esse ponto. Mas usei sempre que precisei.

Localização e atendimento, foram os pontos fortes.
Entendo a limitação com relação ao consumo no local, mas o que mais sentimos falta, foi de uma tomada no quarto.

The staff is super nice! Everyone was lovely and very open to help with everything we needed! More than a room, we had access to shared spaces and amenities, like a kitchen. They also have a restaurant with many options and really good food. The location is great, central, and close to everything on foot - especially from the bus terminal.
We were 2 in the room, so it was perfect, but I'd say it's quite small for 4 people... Also, the bed was super comfortable, but there was a bit of dust in the room (my husband is allergic). Other than that, everything was great! Thank you

Mario ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Der Aussenbereich ist gemütlich gestaltet und lädt zum Verweilen ein. Die geteilte Küche ist sauber und aufgeräumt. Wir haben uns grundsätzlich wohl gefühlt.
Die Dusche ist oberhalb von WC und Waschbecken eingebaut, so dass alles nass wird, wenn man duscht. Das Zimmer hat ein wenig gestunken. Das Personal war jedoch sehr hilfsbereit und hatte das Problem schnell gelöst.

The staff were great. Very good communication prior to arrival. Nice little restaurant and bar outside
The room was pretty cramped - and we were only using two of the four bunks.

Cape Polonio is a rustic place and the accommodations fit the vibe of the community.
I was very frustrated that the map on Bookings.com was so wrong. TIt was raining when I arrived and I was soaked by the time someone directed me to the location, which turned out to be very near the bus stop.

The location indicated on the map is not accurate, as it shows the place close to Playa Sur, and its nowhere near that. Its in the absolute center of the village and not even close to the other beach, Calaveras. The property also states that they are 50 meters from the beach which is likewise not truthful. So that was a disappointment, and misleading/ Plara Sur is not the nearest beach as claimed. This could be bookings error and not the establishment.

really well located within cabo Polonio, comfortable rooms, decent breakfast included, friendly staff.
nothing!
3.0
The place is very near to the "truck terminal" where you arrive in Cabo Polonio, and very central to the "village/town", bars and restaurants.
The receptionist was never there, neither when we arrived, nor when we left. The mattress was really, really worn out. The room was noisy and you could hear every detail of every other guest on the premises, all through the night.
The "breakfast" was just beyond explanation, pieces of old toast with a side of rancid butter, accompanied by instant coffee and watered-down juice. It would have been more honest to say that no breakfast was served.
And all this for a price of a 4 stars hotel.
