    beachside location
    limited dining options

    Unforgettable beachside adventure

    The beachside location was a dream! Waking each day to the sound of waves and enjoying breakfast with a sweet ocean breeze was pure bliss. The staff always made us feel special.

    However, the lack of diverse lunch options started to wear on us by the end of our stay. Plus, some boat excursions were already booked up, limiting our adventure choices.

    great beach access with some travel challenges

    The hotel offers a unique experience as the only one with its own beach. I enjoyed the serene garden view from my room, which added to the overall tranquility during my stay. The location is close to main attractions, making it convenient to explore, despite the initial travel to get there.

    Getting to the hotel can be time-consuming, requiring a boat ride and a walk from the dock.

    Exceptional Stay with Stunning Beach Access!

    Our family enjoyed a magical five nights here, with warm breezes and poolside dining that felt like paradise. The skilled bartenders crafted refreshing cocktails, while the tranquil ambiance made every moment memorable. We loved exploring nearby attractions—don't miss the short walk to Las Grietas!

    stunning views
    tranquil nature
    busy beach area
    noisy groups

    The setting was simply beautiful, with stunning views and the tranquility of nature all around. The staff constantly went out of their way to make the experience memorable. However, the beach area was much busier than expected, especially during high tide, which took away from the serene experience.

    tropical yogurt
    passionate guides
    paradise pool

    The yogurt at breakfast was a game changer, paired with fresh fruits that felt like a tropical fiesta! Also, the staff was incredibly kind, and we loved how the boat excursions felt like mini-adventures led by passionate guides. The pool was nothing short of paradise, perfect for afternoon lounging.

    beautiful location
    clean pool
    long walk
    busy beach
    limited privacy

    The stunning location provided breathtaking views, and the pool area was impeccably clean, offering a perfect relaxation spot. Breakfast options were delightful, especially enjoying the vegan pizza, which was a unique touch. However, the longer-than-expected walk from the water taxi and the busyness of the beach area during certain times detracted from the overall experience. Additionally, some rooms felt less private than anticipated.

    Nice hotel with amenities like free wi-fi in public areas, outdoor swimming pool, and a restaurant. The staff even helped me with late check-out during my first stay. I highly recommend enjoying their imaginative cocktails. I'm coming back for a city trip.

    Let's just say the boat ride to the hotel could win an Olympic medal for time-consuming! Let's not even get started on my room-thank goodness for my knack for minimalism!
