    Stunning hotel, great attention to detail with every aspect well thought through. Plenty of storage space in the rooms, gorgeous pool area, easy location shirt tuk tuk away from town but the thing that really made it was the lovely staff, everyone is extremely accomodating and happy to help. Special mention to the bartenders Yibran and Fabricio who were excellent. Also the owner Tim was lovely and made sure everyone was well looked after. Thankyou!

    The location is stunning. In the woods and a 5 mins walk to a beautiful beach. The cabin was very tastefully designed and felt luxurious. It is self catering and had thoughtful things like oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and paper towel. Loved the individual terraces and the fabulous breakfast. Sebastian and all the staff very friendly and welcoming.

    Adored the host, Christian, his warmth and humor, and the superb combination of a sophisticated, classy design and all the little details that elevate this property from really good to simply excellent: beautiful linens, overall color scheme, wine glasses in the rooms, amazing food and drinks, the softest towels, the lightning in and around the houses, all the adorable little animals in the garden. Delightful.

    This is a lovely place owned by a lovely couple! It’s modern and beautifully designed. The air con and wifi work well. They also offer laundry service, bike rentals, complimentary drinking water, and a well provisioned kitchen with complimentary coffee. The resident dog, Luna, is also a delight! We really enjoyed our stay here.

    Beautifully designed beachfront boutique hotel. We had a very comfortable stay in two different rooms. Fantastic breakfast. Staff are really nice, very professional and create a relaxed environment. The property is surrounded by nature (we saw monkeys, sloths and an agouti) and there are several good restaurants a short cycle ride away (bikes rented nearby).

    Staff is really nice but a bit distracted specially in the restaurant. But service was overall good. The hotel itself is beautiful, pools are stunning, facilities are spacious and beautifully designed, beachfront loungers are very handy, dinner food is very tasty and cocktails nicely prepared. Walking distance to Jaguar rescue center, Soda la Nena ( with good Caribbean food) and supermarkets. The spa is a massage room, but masseusse is lovely and the forest view is stunning. Highly recommended.
