Casa Congo - Rayo Verde - Restaurante

Casa Congo - Rayo Verde - Restaurante

10/10 Excellent
"Loved our stay! The hotel is clean, the food is really good, and the staff is amazing. It’s not fancy, but very cozy and comfortable. The fishing activities were fun and perfect for the whole family. We visited as a family of four with a 7-year-old and a teenager, and everyone had a great time. Special thanks to Lucy, Armando, Batman, and Ileana for their kindness and for making us feel so welcome. We truly enjoyed every moment!"
