Very peaceful, beautiful garden surrounding the cabin, comfy furniture, comfy bed. Breakfast was very fresh with three choices daily and most importantly the coffee was delicious. Friendly and helpful staff.

Spectacular garden environment. Rustic and back to nature experience. Helpful in booking a tour to the La Plata Island. Checking in went smooth with the 50% before. Help desk spoke English. Fantastic breakfast.

James United States of America

The cabins felt secluded, even though they were close to each other. The gardens were awesome...felt like a jungle. We felt safe.

Irvin United States of America

Unbelievable ambience in a unique setting. The facilities were first class. Each room is entirely different. We stayed in the tree house room.

I love the place, very clean and beautiful. Great location, beach is wonderful.

  • My daughter and I would like to have separate rooms, one person in each. Is it possible to get two rooms side by side (December 18-22)? I have two small dogs (Beagles); is there a charge for them? We are interested in seeing the poor man's Galapagos. Do you have information about how to do that?
    Hello, we have rooms or bungalows side by side, no problem. We are pet-friendly, so you can bring your dogs without charge. We can help arranging the tour to isla de la Plata. You are welcome.
