I love how cozy and inviting the hotel was. The staff greets you immediately upon entering, they are very friendly. Being able to Lounge by the pool with adequate seating as well as many options for seating on the beach was a humongous plus. This hotel offers you privacy, Tranquility as well as feeling very intimate. The dinner options were also phenomenal.

Our stay was absolutely amazing. The food, hospitality, beaches, sunsets, and excursion made this one of our most memorable trips. This is the perfect place for a truly relaxing vacation—there’s no rush of daily life, just a peaceful atmosphere where you can fully unwind. Although the journey to get there is long, it’s completely worth it and even offers a glimpse of the local community along the way. The staff consistently made us feel welcome throughout our stay. We can’t wait to return!

This lodge felt like an all inclusive. The staff were very attentive. The king bed was comfortable, excellent water pressure in the shower. Good breakfast on order. Supper was for hotel guests only, seating around the pool. The grounds were well maintained, many beach chairs, the water shallow for a long way. We would go again.

This is our 2nd time booking at this hotel. Tbh it is such a serene place. The staff is very friendly. The rooms, pool, beach, food EVERYTHING was just right. Our waitress Ruth, was very attentive and was the best “nurse” when my husband got a splinter on the wood deck surrounding the pool.
