This is a small well run beach hotel - we stayed in a bungalow right on the beach it was cosy clean and generally fab. Half board - the food was very good like being in a restaurant with no corners cut. The staff were always cheerful abd helpfull
We would happily stay here again and recommend it
Second time coming here. Still the same intimate boutique experience. Perfect for couples. Get one of the bungalows on the beach. Well worth it. Great food choices. Manuel excels in every way.
Beautiful property, truly unique. We loved the beach bungalows, hammocks, and yoga, and overall, we enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was perfect. The dinners were uneven mostly due to the preparation of the main course (oversalted and undercooked) and the servers’ limited hospitality. The fresh salad bar and good soup sustained us. The food at the beach bar was good, but the service was hit or miss with high prices.
Yes, stocked enough in the room. A robe would be nice as well as more towels. All was wonderful though, property beautiful with all the plants inside too. The size of the property was perfect; good was great for what i tried at lunch. Drinks and staff very very good
