Amazing property! Staff were helpful and always available. The pool, breakfast and location were amazing. The beds were so comfortable and we slept well. Our family was taken care of and we felt like we were the only ones at the property. Thank you Alondra!

It’s a nice place to spend a calm weekend, the beach is close (10-12 min walking from the spot). The staff is friendly and attentive. I would be even better if they had more personnel so the service could be faster.

We only spent one night but were very pleased with our experience. Although the room is somewhat small, it was very clean and convenient. The only drawback was that the restaurant did not have everything listed on the menu.
The staff was very pleasant and attentive. The beach close to the property is beautiful and very safe, since the hotel is located in a private neighborhood.

This hotel is small gem nestled in quiet community of private homes. Close enough for to main drag ( 5 min by car) but far enough that you don’t hear with noices of late night partygoers. We have stayed at 4 other properties in area and think we found our new home. We booked master suite and while layout is interesting it works nicely. There are 2 separate rooms. The bathroom located off the full living area. For us this was great, i had area to work and be on calls and my husband could work in bedroom. We enjoyed the pool which is compact but even on sold out night. Was never crowded. Probably because less than 5 minutes by foot you arrive at secluded beach( and yes, they deliver drinks and food to you !). The included breakfast is was hearty and there was ton of inexpensive add on like avocado and breakfast meats. Overall for people looking disconnect but still want TV and wifi and ond someone else to the cooking. Its perfect.
We will definitely be back

Very peaceful, two minute walk on a tree covered path to a beautiful beach. All amenities. Wonderful owners and staff. Great breakfast with excellent coffee and a well stocked refrigerator. Ambiance is wonderful. Calmness for the mind and body.
The hotel is only a few month old. Apple maps send us to an incorrect location nearby. Google send us to the correct location. The main entrance is around the corner. It has an attended gate.

Amazing stay. Incredible boutique hotel. Really well finished, very comfortable and relaxing. Amazing service from the very friendly staff, they all went above and beyond. Great food choices. Slightly out of town, a car or quad is needed but they arranged the delivery of a quad for us when we first arrived and it was there within a couple of hours. A 2 min walk to a very beautiful beach and there’s a bodega in the opposite direction. Would happily live here if I could. Highly reccomend

Absolutely happy with my choice to stay here. Gated community with 24hr security, private beach just a short walk away, and the hotel restaurant serves delicious food and great drinks. You literally don't have to leave anywhere (except for food when restaurant is closed or snacks). Rooms were clean and new. Only thing, the shower had a really slow drain (even after service with plunger). Very close to Salto Limon and Las Terrenas restaurants. Great staff and always with a smile, especially Ashley and Ismael. I will be returning again. Side note, pay attention to entrance signs. Easy to miss entrance.

Todo estuvo bien excepto que el muchacho de recepción entró a mi habitación cuando me encontraba sola, sin razón alguna ni tocar la puerta. Yo acababa de salir de bañarme cuando escucho que abren la puerta y cuando él me vio salió asustado. No sé qué buscaba. Decidí reportarlo y muy amablemente el del bar y el de seguridad me atendieron. El día después decidí dar la queja a la gerente y su única respuesta fue “no sé qué decir”. Pienso que como gerente debió tomar cartas sobre el asunto. Quien unico puede entrar a la habitación siempre y cuando toquen la puerta es la de limpieza. ¿Cómo me voy a sentir segura en ese lugar?

Es un lugar muy chulo y acogedor, para estar en parejas . La Paz y tranquilidad que se siente es única, lo único que el lugar para desayunarse pudiera ser un poco más grande porque en la mañana no caben los huéspedes.

Schöne kleine Anlage mit sehr nettem und hilfsbereitem Personal.
Kurzer Fußweg zu fast leeren und schönen Stränden. Ruhige Lage, Betten bequem.
Leider hatten wir einen Raum der feucht war und auch nach Schimmel roch. Als Asthmatiker merke ich das sofort und ich hatte am Tag darauf massive Atemprobleme. Glücklicherweise konnten wir dann das Zimmer wechseln, Dankeschön für das kostenlose Upgrade.
Am letzten Tag mussten wir aber wieder in das gleiche Zimmer ziehen, da die Anlage ausgebucht war. Jemand der massive gesundheitliche Probleme hat wieder ins gleiche Zimmer einzuquartieren halte ich schon für sehr grenzwertig. Hier gibt es scheinbar keinen Plan B für eine bessere Lösung.
Während unseres 5 Tage Aufenthalts gab es 2x mal kein Wasser für mehrere Stunden. Stromausfälle mehrere Male am Tag waren an der Tagesordnung, leider hier auch kein Plan B.
