This was a lovely hotel- great location - literally 1 minute from the main boardwalk and pier where the boat tours are and the taxi stand. The staff are all very helpful and friendly. Good drinks at the bar, nice pool. Breakfast is a simple buffet. Overall, I would stay again.

We enjoyed our time at Ninfa Hotel. Staff were helpful and answered all our questions. Close to the pier and many things to do were close by. About a 20 minute walk to the Darwin Research Station about 60 min each way hike to Tortuga Bay. Would recommend and would stay again.

Great beds and decent size of room. Our room had a mini bar sized fridge and a decent sized walk in shower. A/C fantastic. Breakfast staff excellent - egg station, toast, some hot items, fruit, and cheeses & meats - starts at 6am daily. They opened 5 min early for us the day we went to Isabella for a day tour so we wouldn’t miss our breakfast. Easy to stay in touch with front desk with WhatsApp. Location good close to the big grocery store & short walk to all restaurants in town. Would stay again.
