United States of AmericaThe rooms had all you need right by the bed; locker, power socket, light, mosquito net and your own fan - the dream. Really great layout with a pool, volley ball court and lots of chill areas. Tasty food with an amazing free buffet breakfast. Good atmosphere and only a short walk from the main palomino street and the beach, but far from a busy road so it’s not noisy. The staff are lovely and Clara was so friendly and helpful.

FranceStaff were great! They can help you with anything! They have tours for the different activities. The pool was nice. They have a quiet spot for remote working. The volleyball court was a nice touch. Internet worked well. When the electricity goes out they have generators to power some things. The beds have mosquito nets. There are power outlets by the bed with a locker. Lots of places to chill out.
