Alerta roja! Red flag!!!
Me ha ido pésimo. Por favor tengan cuidado. Esta es una trampa para cautos como lo fuimos con mi familia. Estábamos muy ilusionados con ver los flamingos rosados y pasar una estadía genial. Llegamos en carro y cuando nos bajamos: oh sorpresa!! Es un hostal con fachada amarilla, muy distinto a lo que se anuncia en las fotos y con unos indígenas guajiros muy groseros y agresivos. Nos dijeron que no había reserva, que qué nos sucedía, que nos fuéramos. Cuando estábamos por irnos llegaron otros turistas - viajeros como nosotros y les sucedió lo mismo, vimos como nuestra escena de desconcierto la repitió otra familia.
