    Breakfast not included, need to make reservations. Parking limited and driving around town was challenging.

    Enjoyed the accommodations, clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. Convenient restaurant in front, had an exquisite dinner meal, excellent wait staff. Great location, easy walk to town.

    The mattress and the bad make a lot of noise when you move. I think the wood that support the mattress needs to be adjusted. The breakfast in the first day did not have the options present in the menu that was supposed to be available.

    The location and staff are great. The AC and shower work well.

    The bathroom was not too clean and it felt s bit outdated.

    The hotel was really close to the beach (around 500m) and bars and restaurants. The rooms were also nice and comfortable, however the bathroom was not the cleanest. The breakfast was good but nothing special.

    Nothing - all good

    Great location, no issues with parking, comfy room with a good shower and aircon. Outside areas were lovely and well cared for, pool was great. Wildlife in the trees to back. Breakfasts were really good and staff were welcoming and professional. We had a great stay. We loved Tabu bar 5 mins away on the beach and Oveja restaurant just across the road. Nearby supermarket

    The only down point was a bed comfort and stairs to mezzanine where bed was, but it’s me as I am not young. My son was satisfied with pillow/bed comfort. Having own kitchen cover for the bed comfort and stairs :)

    We been staying in the room with private kitchen what was great to have (kitchen is outdoors and has all necessary tools/pans/plates/etc). It was nice to take a carry out and relax after busy day while still staying outdoors. I wasn’t a big fan of swimming in ocean and pool at the hotel was a perfect option to cooldown and relax during most hot hours of the day. Check in was quick and owner made sure we like our room. She (and her staff) was very welcome and ready to answer on all questions. Great location in the center and very close to the beach. Breakfast was great. My son loved pancakes and I am fan of omelet. Rooms were clean and additional housekeeping was done during the stay. The only down point was a bed comfort and stairs to mezzanine where bed was, but it’s me as I am not young. My son was satisfied with pillow/bed comfort. Wi-Fi was good, no issues. They have routers within the property, make sure you connect to the closer one to your room. I got good price and quality met my expectations per that price. I will come back and will recommend to my friends.

    Pool and garden area was fab, also a chance to do yoga classes each morning. It rained the majority of the time we were there, so didn’t make the most of the great shared outdoor space this time but hopefully we’ll be back to try again!

    As pointed out here by others, the furniture is run down and not particularly comfortable; rooms and bathrooms are small; no mosquito nets on windows in some rooms (while those are actually very relevant).

    Very green - feels in the nature; nice decor; a wonderful swimming pool to enjoy before breakfast (we woke up early because of monkeys on trees around the hotel, and we made a bit of early noise with kids in the swimming pool but the owner was very gentle reminding us of an early hour…); a great coffee shop just next door; a good location; accommodating staff.

    Angelo the staff member was amazing, so helpful and helped practice our Spanish too with him. He made us feel so welcome. Really nice relaxing place, quiet and out of the way enough that we won’t be woken up at night, but still so close that we could walk to the supermarket next door and restaurants around. It was great! Breakfast options were good too :)
