Made a reservation and had correspondence to prove this, yet they claimed it was never confirmed. They assigned a bed to me that was already taken by someone else. I came back to have all my stuff moved- gave me a new bed, which they kicked someone out of to give me. 10 mins after I went to bed I... More

Casa Verde is a popular hostel on the back packing trail based upon the past years reputation. Stayed for only one night in single room with ac because of several factors. The room was very noisy as a result of "thin walls". The staff was not friendly although the guests were trying to have a good time. The facilities such... More

This hostel has an awesome setting on top of the water and they have lovely hammocks right over the water. They also have a grill you can use for free! BUT BUT BUT they are infested with BED BUGS so that brings all the rating through the floor. Too bad! I also think the staff was very rude and ignorant.... More

Casa Verde is excellent. There are cool people staying there, it's right on the water, there's dinghy docking, the ladies at the front have sweet Caribbean charm, the rooms are clean, the showers are hot, the location is in town but not right in the center of the noise, tours leave right from the dock, there is good food and...

We only stayed one night there because the environment and the ac of the dorm room was very loud...The people at the reception were not very friendly and also showers and bathrooms were insufficient. However, the views were nice and the mattresses were also very good.

Beautiful place to hang out, you have a porch over the water with hammocks and sofas. We compared a few places and its really a good budget for the view you get. The rooms were ok, small but clean and we had a brand new a/c. We slept there for 3 night. The first nights were really quiet, but the... More

We stayed in the private room Aqua for one night (December 26th) and had bed bugs. We took a chance because we heard they took care of the problem. We woke up in the morning to a very full bed bug crawling on the sheets and captured it in a water bottle, 5 min later we found another bed bug... More

We stayed at casa verde for two nights in the big room with the two double beds. The spot is really nice with the bar, hammocks over the docks and there is a good vibe amoung the backpackers. We have seen many hostels and don't expect them to be brand clean. But unfortunuately we got the unpleasant company of some... More

We apologize for your experience with bed bugs. When you came and complained the staff went all over town looking for a place to do your laundry for you (as it was Sunday and nearly all laundromats were closed) and apologized about the situation. The issue that started your negative experience with the manager is when you falsely claimed to... More
