    The room was spacious and comfortable; however, the bed was rather hard and made noise.

    Great location, just a short distance from the city center. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and the restaurant is excellent.

    Nothing significant to complain about.

    The location directly on the beach. The intimacy of the place and the super friendly staff, especially the owners introduction to the property. The food served in the restaurant is of very good quality and nicely presented. Absolutely good value for money, we got what we expected. Thanks.

    There's quite some driftwood at the beach directly in front of the hotel. The view at the beach is awesome regardless, but we choose other areas to enjoy lying on the beach and swim.

    Very helpful staff! Breakfast and evening dining options as well as Happy hour we're also really good.

    There were some flying ants and lizards in the room. They did not bother or bite so it was fine. You do need bug spray if you are a magnet for mosquitoes like I am. It would be nice to have sun beds on the beach itself.

    The location of this property is fantastic! Beach front and 10 minutes to walk into town although it is dark at 6:30pm and I would not walk to or from town on the beach as it is very dark. Every single member of staff was Amazing!! The beach and water are fantastic! Nice waves to play in and soft sand. Food is phenomenal!

    I am giving this overall 10/10. The o my thing for me and because I have had a back injury was the bed being too firm but definitely not enough to knock this place out of a 10.

    The vibe was perfect and chill. The restaurant quickly became our favorite spot to eat, drink and chill! Also, great value!

    We liked that the hotel was almost on the beach, a sort walk over the beach from the town. The rooms were clean and modern with airco. Breakfast on the beach was a plus. Also the bar/restaurant was nice.

    The property was beautiful. Virginia, the owner, was so kind and helpful. She even took over for the laundry service so we could get our clothes cleaned before catching an early flight. The food was exceptional. The staff was kind. And the accommodations were just what we needed.

    I might have made a mistake ordering the uncooked salmon dish. It wasn't fresh, but I didn't get sick. It was wonderful with avocado and fruit.

    Thoughtfully designed hotel on the sandy beach. Though they have no parking other than public beach parking, it wasn't a problem. AC and fan in the room kept it too cool but delightful after the 80% humidity.

    Some people may not find the rooms satisfactory. We are outdoor people who really just sleep in the room so it was fine for us. Another blanket or two for the beds would be awesome. The AC in the rooms is great and provides a cool escape from the heat! The wifi wasn’t very reliable but we were fine with that.

    Location is amazing! Privacy at the resort and just a short beach walk to town. Complimentary breakfast is wonderful! Staff are friendly and provide great service. It is a small resort where staff know their guests. The resorts dogs are so cute! Loved it!

    The mattress were a little too firm for my taste but I still slept great!

    The staff was amazing! They went out of their to accommodate us bc we arrived a day early and we left a day later than planned. We had no problems at all. They helped with booking a kayak trip and horseback ride through the wetlands and on the beach. Perfecto

    Our room was the apartment located next to the dining area, and during certain hours the music from the bar/restaurant is quite noticable in the apartment.

    This location is fantastic. The hotel is directly on the beach. Breakfast and dinner in the hotel restaurant were outstanding. The staff here were wonderfully helpful and friendly (gracias Claudia and Cesar).
