    Beautiful garden, beautiful cabañas, we had a separate kitchen that was AMAZING, everything you need was there. The wifi was superfast aswell. Kind welcome gift & card. All made with love & care. The location is very remote, perfect for some time off. The beach is very beautiful and only a short walk away. Sometimes you can swim, sometimes it’s dangerous. Host was responsive but we didn’t meet them personally.
