    Outstanding hotel! The room was spotless, lovely design and layout. Lovely resort but a small complex. Staff were super helpful, would message instantly on WhatsApp with any questions, would reiterate that delivery services would be closing each day incase you wanted food ordering in. The views from the balconies / pool were outstanding.

    The hotel was lovely, and the food and drinks from the cafe delicious! It's very central so easy to organise ourselves. There is a gorgeous boutique, gelato shop and ramen shop right there. Laundry could be done through the hotel, and they provided us with umbrellas, snorkels and masks and beach sarongs for use during our stay. Lovely staff.

    Absolutely great hostel! 5 stars type of a hostel. Very central location, 15 meters from the beach (you only need to cross the walk way) or if you want you can go to rooftop pool, great WiFi, huge lockers (and don't need to have a lock of your own), hot water and clean facilities all around, modern design and lots of space to hang out at the hostel or to meet people. I definitely recommend staying here.

    Very relaxing, tranquil place! We stayed in the ocean view room and it was beautiful and relaxing having a coffee on the balcony looking out over the jungle and sea. Bed and bedding super comfy! Very classy modern design and relaxing colour palette! Friendly staff. Buffet breakfast. Free shuttles to and from the beach but we mainly walked down to the beach (only 10min).

    We liked the interior design of the room. It really gave you the feeling, like you are in the beach house. The location was good, next to the beginning of the street where everything is going on. You could do loundry. The swimming pool was amazing and views were stunning. Sunset was - oh my god! Friendly people at the restaurant. It was quiet.
