Cute hotel and Staff was amazing and kind, place is quiet and just perfect after a day of adventure and excursions. It may be too quiet during low seasons but we don’t mind that. I can just imagine how lovely the place during peak times.

Staff was super friendly and our room was perfect. Orient village is just a minute or two walk away from any of the rooms and the beach was phenomenal. Would recommend it to anyone.

The hotel was very nice. Room was spacious and clean but there is barely a view of the ocean because of how the buildings are situated. The food was decent, it was the same breakfast every day. Staff was lovely and helpful and there are plenty of dining options behind the property. Beach was nice but unfortunately there was a lot of seaweed the week we were there so we went to other beaches instead-not the hotels fault.

Breakfast was buffet and nice, but same everyday. So we did venture out after four mornings with the same thing. The little village had some great restaurants for dinner. Was nice not to have to pay for the beach chairs. Room was beautiful. There is a little grocery store around the corner as well. We rented a car to visit the attractions since this is a little secluded.

First day was excellent. We had to leave early because of family illness. They are very accommodating and that they’re a little coaching from Expedia. They refunded the days that we weren’t. There was very appreciative. I will stay there again.
