Just incredible vibes at this place. So close to town but feels like a little pocket of boho heaven. I loved the morning yoga, all of the food (allergen friendly), and the short boat ride to the beach club with such a calm, lovely, swimmable access point. Everyone was very friendly as well!

The hotel has a great boutique hip vibe. The staff is very friendly, and the views are amazing. The rooftop pool area is gorgeous and comfortable with great service. The only drawback is that the pool was very cold. It didn't seem to be heated or was poorly heated. We were there for 6 days, and there were very few people who entered the pool.
