A lovely 3 days in wonderful surroundings

A lovely 3 night stay in beautifully maintained tropical gardens and well kept comfortable 2 bed cottage. Lots of wildlife in the gardens and trees including Sloths. Hosts were fantastic and nothing was too much of a problem. Beautiful swimming pool and right on the beach. Plenty of places to eat within walking distance.

Just across the street from the ocean and beach, a beautiful, secluded property. Each room/cabins has private outdoor space. Our quad room had great mini kitchen type amenities. Ocean waves, sloths, parrots, toucans, iguanas, tree frogs and CONSTANT agoutis running around! A little paradise. The owners are very helpful. Our only complaint is that it was a bit of a walk from town for our six year old’s legs, but we knew that up front so the property can’t be faulted for that. Just lovely in every way! Beach toys, towels, and chairs all included too.

We loved every second of our stay. Place is run by 2 passionate owners. They shared local ideas and advices in between pointing out slots, iguanas, toucans that inhabit their wonderful property. Couldn’t recommend that place enough and can only be jealous of next guests that will be staying in Maria and Pierre’s property.

Bird watcher’s paradise!

This CNN is a bird watchers paradise. Amazing natural property. The room # 4 had a squeaky bed but a great veranda for watching birds. Extra small table and chairs in the room would have been good. The use of the BBQ at the pool was wonderful!

Our bungalow was extremely nice, spacious, comfy beds and with basic kitchen supplies to allow us to cook basic meals. The. Grounds were absolutely beautiful and well-maintained. The hosts were generous with showing us the local flora and fauna, the large, clean pool was an added bonus to cool off and entertain our daughtet. The hosts even allowed us to use the pool and store our bags until we could check in to our next hotel as we had accidentally not booked an extra night and had to stay somewhere else one more day. Cannot recommend more highly!
