Rooms are spacious, new and clean, and the private pool is just excellent. The smaller size of the hotel allows you to receive an ad-personam treatment that it’s impossible to get even at the best hotel chains. Totally recommended!

The property features five elegant Jungle View Bungalows and two exclusive Luxury Pool & Ocean View Bungalows. Each bungalow includes a spacious open layout with a king-size bed, air conditioning, large screened windows, a fully equipped kitchen, an en-suite bathroom, and a tropical indoor/outdoor shower. The Luxury Pool & Ocean View Bungalows are just steps from the pool and feature an oversized tub for two, a stand-up shower, and dual sinks—perfect for a romantic escape. What a beautiful little hideaway nestled beachside within walking distance to nearly everything. Staying here was a dream come true, and more than I had ever imagined. Our bungalow was incredibly charming and fully equipped with everything required for a leisurely stay. Every detail of our accomodations was so comfortable and inviting that I wanted to just stay in the room and soak up the atmosphere. However, the beach was so beautiful, we couldn't resist. The restaurant was absolutely amazing, and served the finest tuna that I have ever had! The staff and the owner were so very attentive, offering personalized service. I had such an amazing time at this resort, that I am planning another trip back to the very same place.
