I like the Barca.....I think it is a nice place to stay and much more reasonable than I had expected. A double room, with bathroom (although no door between the bedroom and bathroom) is $17, which is very good value for a nice, clean room. The room looked out onto the beachfront, although the Barca is located on a part... More

We ennjoyed very much our stay in Barca de Oro - Very nice cabans, good location, good and welcoming service

Went to Las Penitas with the plan being to stay for the weekend, checked into Barca De Oro, the room smelled a bit off, there was an odd brown looking lump in the shower we had to remove before taking a shower (not ideal), and the fan did not work, there were two of us in a double room and... More

A nice setting, comfortable hang out areas- hammocks, little garden, pool table, birds—good food and a super nice staff. A very comfortable spot to hang out. The rooms are small, and honestly a little rough. They could really use a refresh. We stayed in a room, not a cabana. it was very hot and the staff was able to let... More

They were large, out back in a court yard, and had a fan and private "bathroom." Hot water showers. At first it seemed great, privacy,our own cabana... reality; as said... More

However, while we were checking out a room, ALL of our luggage was stolen out of our locked car trunk directly in front of the hotel around 6pm. A man told us he worked for... More

We spent two nights recently at Barca de Oro. We are a family of four, and the only rooms that sleep four are the eco-cabins. They are a great idea, but the reality is very tough. There is an overhead fan that runs by solar power, and so therefore runs very slowly, and the heat was unbearable. The owner Sandrine... More

Clean rooms, not expensive (20$ for a big room and 7$ for a bed in a dormitory), very safety...

This place has the best food we ate while we were in Las Penitas. We had some delicious oysters and my girlfriend even found a pearl in one of them. The owner Sandrine was great fun and super friendly. The staff were friendly and helpful too. They offer lots of trips and a range of rooms, from bamboo huts out... More
