    This hotel doesn’t look like much from the outside. But, the rooms were wonderful! They were so comfortable and clean and had a cute little kitchenette. They were up-to-date and had a really nice bathroom. They also had the cutest little porch with a ceiling fan to sit on. The pool was outstanding, the location was great as well. It was a half a block to the beach and half a block to shops and restaurants. This part of town is a little dicey, but the hotel has a locked gate and gives you keys to the gate and to the beach.i highly recommend this place. I felt very safe as a woman traveling alone. Everyone was welcoming and accommodating. They let me park my car within the gate the day I was leaving so that I could go on an excursion.

    The little apartment is cosy and well-equipped, especially the dining space and kitchen. The hotel is placed on a small private road in front of the beach, which keeps the place private and quiet. There is a large private parking. The caretaker Luis is a very kind person. He welcomed us during our check-in and helped us to get comfortable with the place. He is attentive to the customer's needs. The cleaning service is excellent and impeccable. A large and beautiful tropical green garden with colourful birds and funny lizards surrounded the entire apartment. It feels like being in a jungle. The hotel had a large swimming pool in the centre of the garden, which made our stay relaxing and enchanting, especially at sunset. We enjoyed it a lot. The hotel also has a very nice outdoor kitchen that we used a few evenings to enjoy dinner outdoors surrounded by nature. The place was located near the main road. This allowed us to reach grocery stores and restaurants quickly and easily. We recommend this place.

    My fiancé didn’t like the tiny ants and bought some spray. They weren’t that bad.

    Great location near town and beach. Iguanas lived in the trees outside. Very pretty cabins!

    There were only two pool towels although we booked for three adults, but I am sure we could have ask for one more.

    Lovely resort in second row to the beach, nice, clean rooms, wonderful garden with iguanas and a good pool.

    There was nothing we did not like. Although it didn’t effect us, not having 24 hour front desk service could be an issue for some.

    Excellent location even though it looked like a back alley it turned out to be a safe location: just steps away from the beach as well as walking distance to grocery stores & restaurants. It was like an oasis with beautiful gardens & a beautiful good size well kept pool. We liked the secured car park area. The room with kitchenette was spacious & clean with a front porch to enjoy sitting outside to watch the birds & iguanas. Would stay here again.

    If I were being really picky, I'd say there were a couple of cracked tiles in the bathroom and the merest whiff of drains. It certainly wouldn't put us off staying again and we'd recommend it to others.

    What a lovely little oasis, just a minute or twos walk from the town centre. The room was spotlessly clean with a comfy bed and really nice bed linen. The grounds were colourful and well looked after and the pool was big enough to do a little swimming. We were greeted warmly and the car was left in the secure parking zone for the duration of our stay. The gorgeous beach was a couple of minutes walk away and it was such a pleasure to head there and watch the fab sunsets.

    The outside seating was not very comfortable. Very thin cushions on outside couch and uncomfortable lounge chairs at pool, but there were always lots of chairs so that was good!

    Well kept grounds and clean pool, helpful staff, large fridge, use of the barbecue, close to restaurants, stores and beach.

    Really spacious studio apartment with an outdoor patio space. Pool area is large with lots of sitting areas. Short walk to the beach and the Main Street of restaurants. Is pretty quiet considering the busy location. Staff were helpful and helped source a kettle for our room. Secure parking provided too.
