Book Isla Saboga hotels

Such a special place. The house is very modern, with endless screened porches, outdoor lounges, a private pool, very spacious interior. It felt very secluded; we pretty much had the beach to ourselves. A short walk down a cobblestone path brought us to the beach and “the hut” - a lovely French restaurant where we had dinner almost every night. There were lounge chairs on the beach, stand up paddle boards, snorkeling gear to borrow. Patrice was such a great host - he picked us up in a 4wheeler at the ferry dock and arranged boat tours for us, drove us through the village, marked trails to hike. He gave us a history of the island and translated as needed. Do be sure to bring a cooler with food. The village has some shops, but they are more like mini marts, better for snacks and drinks than a full grocery run. The house has a well appointed kitchen so it’s nice to be able to cook. No need to bring water, the island has fresh well water that doesn’t need additional filtering. I definitely hope to come back; this was an amazing trip. Great for our family but would also be really fun with multiple couples- the four rooms are well separated, with large bathrooms and porches, more like suites, and an extra bunk bed room. Also a ping pong table/ exercise room. Such a special family vacation; the photos really don’t do it justice.

Yes - No - Maybe!?! We were greeted at the Saboga pier by the hotel boat driver who later transported us to the lodge. Nice ride. Be ready to climb over 3 stories of stairs with your luggage from the beach to the reception desk with no assistance. The beach was full of trash and debris.Right away we were told there is a shortage of water and therefore no running water. We had a few drinks and then we were able to check in to our room early. The room and balcony were nice, a few spider webs and bugs but that is expected near a jungle. Apart for the pillows outside covered in mold, we set those aside the accommodations were not bad. Now… from using the toilet to washing our hands - we were unable to do any of this on our first day. Glad we had hand sanitizer and wipes because the hotel did not have these available for guest. We had a wonderful lunch. We went on a long hike to the town and got some drinks and water for our room. Not going to pay very marked up when I can get for qtr.. When we returned we had dinner, again the food was great. The water Finally started flowing at 930pm but only for an hour. But, we also noticed the large amount of BLACK MOLD all over the bathroom wall. It was gross and very negligible and also concerning. I got some vinegar and sprayed it as a temp solution during our stay. Over night the power went out due to a storm and so on our second day - no running water, no internet or electricity. The beach amenities are limited.
