We chose the Cerrito Tropical for our 1-night stay on Taboga. The location is good, a pleasant 5-minute walk from the port. There is a short, steepish hill to walk up but it’s really nothing much. They will also pick you up from the port if requested. We received a warm welcome from Vicki who gave us a rundown on the place as well as patiently answering all our questions about the area. There are decent views from the lodge, but unfortunately not from the rooms, unless you get the 2-bedroom apartment in the front. The view from the rooms was actually disappointing, with the rooms being rather dark due to a scarcity of windows. The room was basic but comfortable, good AC, TV, Wifi, hot water, etc. We also had a small kitchenette which we didn’t really use, but having a fridge was nice. Everything was reasonably clean and well-maintained. There is nothing really very “ecolodge-y” about it, just a basic guesthouse. There was a very inviting small plunge pool out front with lots of chairs, tables, and shade – a great spot to spend a hot afternoon. We ate a couple of pizzas for dinner prepared by Vicki and they were excellent – highly recommended. The breakfast was also very good. Drinks were overpriced, as they are in big hotels, so we just brought our own from down at the local super mini, a few minutes walk away. We were surprised that they were so expensive at the guesthouse, as most small places offer reasonably priced drinks and snacks. Overall we had a very nice stay and would definitely recommend this guesthouse to other travelers.
