It is not $35 but $40 a night and a decent place with pool and A/C.

El Candil is a place you can't go wrong with. I have stayed there several times.
Good food, beer, small family store outside the gate to stock your apt and they don't blink an eye when you have guest.

El Candil is good to go. I was there in July friendly staff and guest friendly. As long as the guest has i.d. A/C in apartments with wifi and massage available across the street next to the little convenient store.

FYI, anything under $35USD and you're looking at either a cabana for a few hours and or an apartment for rent [daily] if you are lucky to find one!

Both hotel are adequate. However the Costalunga has "interesting" floorplans. I was considering a long term rent at the Costalunga.

I gotta vote for Candil over Costalunga for various reasons. Its just nicer. Costalunga is adequate and cheaper tho. If you choose Costalunga just be sure to ask for a room NOT facing the street as the motos can get kind of loud.

Candil just has more charm and a higher quality of service (no offence to miguel at costalunga...he's awesome)

Even tho Candil is about 10 bucks more a night...they give you free airport transportation...so that saves you 20 bucks each way right there. You just have to make sure to ASK for the free transport.

Default Kitchenette-?

Are there rooms with kitchenette in any of them? I never stayed in Castalunga. In El Candil I stayed several times in small rooms on the first floor and they did not have kitchenettes at that time ( several years ago, with Piettori and Juiseppe)
