Great accommodation with private lagoon access. Small restaurant onsite for breakfast (maybe just burgers and salads for day menu). Hotel restaurant 30 seconds away sells beers and has larger menu. Or 20ish minute walk to town. Would go back, so nice to be right on the lagoon
What a lovely experience. Fresh-made fruit and granola delivered to the room for breakfast, a private dock on the lake, and invredible decor, all at a reasonable price.

What a beautiful place! Corner view of the lagoon, beautiful flowersI’ Lagoon access on a nice dock with different areas for seating and lounging beautiful breakfast in the morning and stuff that went above and beyond have a cappuccino they make the best
We loved our stay at BoaBoa. Our hut named "Colibri" was private and spacious with all the necessary amenities. We really appreciated the staff, who were helpful and proactive even prior to our visit. While on site, they communicated daily via WhatsApp to inquire about our needs and comfort. The property is on the outskirts of town and is best accessed with a vehicle and you can hear the highway from the property. We enjoyed being next to the lagoon: sunrises, swimming, and kayaking. We would definitely stay again!
Love the deck by the m lagoon, the property is very quiet and staff is amazing.

The room was cozy and clean with a fantastic view of the forest and lagoon. All the staff was very friendly and helpful as well. We enjoyed the breakfast hand delievered every morning and were very pleased with how tidy our room was after staff came in to clean. Overall it was a fantastic place and we would definitely stay here again!
Fantastic design, cool amenities (kayak), amazing location (in front of the lake), healthy breakfast. Only complain would be that depending on the room, given the wood, it can be noisy if you have neighbors.
I’ve stayed at BoaBoa quite a few times now and I always enjoy going back. Friendly staff, comfortable beds, super private and on the water .
What else could you ask for. A true hidden gem 💎.
My girlfriend and I had an excellent stay here. The rooms were very comfortable, and next to the lagoon. Views from the room and the property are amazing. The lagoon is a treasure, and didn't disappoint. The staff went out of their way to make sure our stay was amazing, and that we had everything we needed.
Very nice place. Very friendly staff. Would recommend.
