    We had a really nice time at Deep Blue. The site is wonderful, the sound and the view of the ocean, the nature around, the pool, it’s all really well designed. Our little cottage, a bit off from the other rooms, gave us privacy which was really appreciated. It was just perfect for our family and we really enjoyed our huge terrasse with the swing bed. Amazing!

    This was an incredibly lovely and cozy resort right by the beach. The hotel's restaurant had excellent cold drinks, which we enjoyed a lot. Additionally, the resort is incredibly close to some charming restaurants and cafes such as The Doctors House, Swell Cafe, and more.

    Very nice bungalows, well and creatively decorated! Colonial atmosphere and cozy vibes! Bungalows are equipped with a ceiling fan and AC. The location is cool, there is a nice beach for swimming at the front of the hotel. All day bar serves great coffee, pizzas and smoothies. We also experienced the Saturday’s market and party and it was a great event.
