Such a comfortable quaint property right off the beach. beautiful pool area , Food was delicious, Everyone was so nice. I wouldn’t suggest staying here if you’re looking for a party atmosphere . I had an amazing time learning to surf with “Pro” aka Elyin , getting a massage in my room and just sunbathing by the pool . I will say the only thing that I wasn’t prepared for is the fact that my room had no TV , kind of threw me off guard and I’m the type that likes to fall asleep with the TV on , but other then that absolutely NO COMPLAINTS with this property, family friendly, but yet still very much relaxing . Would definitely come back .

My husband and I liked the property very much... very clean, nice pool, very comfortable room; the food was delicious and the service was excellent. There is coffee and purified water available all day, as well as mosquito repellent and sunblock. The beach accross the street was covered with rocks, impossible to swim in, yet nice to sit at and watch the gorgeous sunset. There is a nearby beach - about 18 min walk o 5 min by car - for swimming. Electricity goes off sometimes at night and a generator kicks in right away. We would stay there again.

This is the most deceiving place I’ve ever been in my years of traveling experience. There was so much information missing from the description about this hotel. I trusted and that was my fault. I felt defrauded. The front picture on the website is an absolute lie. The ocean was obstructed my dry trees. There was no beach, instead there was a large rocks. There was no way access to the ocean because it was rocky beach. The hotel landscape was dry. It was windy and so there was a lot of dust. The view in the bedroom was again dry trees. There was no tv. The pool was just a small pool. I lasted about 20-30 minutes and I checked out. I lost my money..so you don’t have to. I will attach pics of the surrounding.
