Backpackers Paradise is a rustic accommodation and was mostly what I expected. For some reason, I thought that my room-one of the small houses- included a kitchen and fridge but my mistake. The room was certainly clean and quite comfortable. There were ants in one corner when I first arrived, but Nathalie immediately cleaned them up. And the room was mosquito proof. And quiet except for the jungle noises, which didn't bother me. Nathalie was very attentive as she came by after a heavy rain to check and dry the floor. I was there for 2 nights and then had to move rooms because I wanted to stay a 3rd night. I stayed in a newer room #2, which was much closer to the communal room. I didn't like this one as much because it wasn't as quiet or as private. Just my opinion tho. Lastly, I wish the location was closer to the water. Even tho I enjoyed my stay, I will probably stay in town next time to be able to swim and eat without having to walk or ride a bike. But it is the cheapest accommodation in Sarteneja and great for travellers.
