No human being should stay at this place. Its a total scam. The property (The Yellow Bird) is like nothing presented online. Everywhere and everything is dirty. The EXTERnal bathroom is minutes away from the bedroom. In the bathroom wet, dirty towel on the floor, dirty water in the dilapidated face basin, very very dirty. The bedroom very very dirty, the security guard is the one who was trying to clean up a little when we took out our phone and started to video the place. We demanded a refund and they are insisting we request it from Expedia. We will be back tomorrow morning to get a refund because we cannot sleep in this nasty place. Stay away from this place

We picked this place because of its location on the beach. The beach was terrible due to huge amounts of rotting seaweed with bad smell. Water was filthy with garbage in it. Our room was tiny. It had a fridge in the room. The shower didn’t work. We used the shower in our friends room. Air conditioning worked. Every night there was a huge party going on until 2 am so we couldn’t sleep. I would never go back here.

I have stayed many times and gave great reviews so I was shocked when I arrived at 9pm and was given a room without a bathroom/ when asked about a bathroom they said the charge would be twice as much a when I pleaded that I wasn’t prepared for an out of doors bathroom / I don’t have a bathrobe - u get up in the night tu use the bathroom - I can’t work w this - they called and said No - pay $180 or else stay in this room - It’s 9:30 at night And the taxi dropped me off - I have no where to go - this is UNACCEPTABLE

In all honesty, it's not the best place on the beach nor the cheapest and for what Expedia charged per night, I expected it to be better. I've been to Yellow Bird many times in the past and it's been cleaner. Yes there was people cleaning the beach but for the amount of people staying there, we all didn't make that much of a mess. There are signs in the kitchen that say to clean up as you go and on more than one occasion, the sinks were full of dirty dishes and dirty pots/pans left on the stove top. I was not going to clean someone's dishes so I can cook my family some breakfast.There was full strength dish soap. We had 3 adults in the room and there was barely enough room. No where to store our luggage. Full sized fridge in our room. Ceiling Fan and AC were in working order. The toilet had a good flush and sometimes we had hot water. Security was active and made themselves seen. They even gave us a wake-up knock when it was time to leave. Overall, I'd give this experience 5/10

Loved the Yellow Bird
I simply wanted sun sand and quiet relaxation. The Yellow Bird is exactly that paradise. An older, immaculately manicured resort, with the best beach I saw on my stay. The staff is friendly and fantastic and the resort bar is a nice laidback hangout. I followed their recommendations for transportation, food, and a snorkel tour. My experience was the best. Lots of excellent dining and convenience shops are within minutes walking distance. Simple pleasures at a reasonable rate. I will stay at The Yellow Bird again!

A wonderful little slice of heaven. Cozy, wonderfully affordable, extremely safe place to stay. The friendly, comfortable, well-stocked bar was a real asset. The staff were very attentive and hard-working. The views and beachfront was outstanding.

Die Einrichtung der Bungalows ist sehr alt und die Preise sind dafür viel zu hoch. Die Küche für die gemeinsame Nutzung ist eine Katastrophe. Das zuständige Personal hat deswegen auch nicht viel unternommen um dies zu ändern. Beide Damen die für die Reinigung der Zimmer zuständig sind, waren super freundlich und alles war immer in Ordnung. Der Strand ist aber ein Traum.
