perfectly located in front of the see, not to close but walking distance from the animated (and loud) village center. beautiful all wood (wall, ceiling) room.

Jean-martin United States of America

Everything. The staff was very kind and friendly, the food was delicious and always on time. The location couldn't be better and the room was comfy and clean. The island has internet access and the signal inside the room was very good.

Katherine Costa Rica

No bells or whistles. This is definitely not an island where you would expect (or want) to go for a 5 Star hotel. The island is amazing. The food (additional cost paid in advance to the hotel) was incredible and with the most amazingly generous portions! The beach was nothing short of perfection. The islanders were so gracious. I have nothing but wonderful memories from our stay here.

Dianna United States of America

Very cool to stay in this island town with only 400 residents. Nice people, good food, we played dominos with the locals, a local friend took us to an amazing beach "el encanto de la playa" where we were the only people for miles. Our friend climbed a coconut tree and brought down coconuts for us to drink. We stayed for only 1 night but made a dozen local friends. Definitely helps to speak Spanish.

Robin United States of America

Very nice location on a beautiful beach! Quiet in the mornings and after 4-5 pm.

Helle Denmark

It's a perfect little piece of heaven. Beaches are quiet, with crystal water and when the tourist leave you are alone on the island with the locals. Very safe for two women. The fish they cooked is the best one I have ever eaten, so fresh!

Laia Switzerland

I liked the fact of being very close to the beach. The rooms are basic but ok. All people that were working in the resort were very helpful and nice. Thanks!!

Claudia Germany

Sara is very nice person, always ready to help you, personally or via Whatsapp. Room right at the beach, beautiful sea, good breakfast.

Zuzana Czech Republic

Hospitality from the owner was at the highest level.

Piotr Denmark

window view to the sea, staff very friendly, there are only two options to stay so you are happy to get there, piece, empty island when all tourists leave, paradise
