J’ai choisi de venir séjourner à Shamalay et je suis restée 10 jours, un paradis pour se ressourcer et être au plus près de la nature, écureuil, iguane, oiseaux, un lieu très agréable et situé idéalement. Le personnel est au petit soin, un lieu qui vaut le coup d’œil

Es un excelente lugar para visitar, las habitaciones son tal y como se ven en la foto, pero sí puede llegar a encerrarse bastante el calor. La estufa es cosa seria, es extremadamente potente, hay que tener cuidado con ella; traten de no usar cerillos, tienen un encendedor eléctrico por ahí. La ubicación no es de lo mejor, se encuentra prácticamente en la entrada del pueblo, por lo que tendrán que caminar unos 15 minutos por víveres y otras cosas. Por fortuna, el pueblo es muy pequeño, todo está cerca, así que esa es la parte positiva; además, cuentan con un servicio en el que puedes disponer de las cosas que guardan en su refri dejando el valor correspondiente en un jarro de dinero. En general, es un excelente hospedaje y la atención es muy rápida y amable. Sí sería un lugar al que definitivamente volveríamos.

Wonderful place to stay! The hosts are very friendly and willing to help. The place is a bit outside of the centre but it’s all walkable, at night it felt safe. The tent is comfortable, clean and romantic. The pool and kitchen are nice and clean. There is a bit of noise from the road, but for us totally fine.

Superbe lieu original, petit oasis de verdure flamboyante, avec piscine. Hôtes accueillantes et attentionnées. Literie très confortable. Le lieu est très propre et soigné. Le plus : le coin cuisine ouverte, équipée, où l'on peut se préparer un repas et le déguster (avec frigo mis à disposition). Parfait !

A cozy place with great location. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, there's a pool to cool off during a hot day. I was able to walk to the centro or lagoon without the noise and large crowds.
