Maria does the best desserts and pancakes with caramel and nuts!!! Dinner was really good, beverages were good too, overall everything was beautiful, specially the surroundings. Beautiful hotel. Beds were too small though!
SwitzerlandWonderful location with breathtaking views, very quiet and private. We loved the hospitality for our honeymoon. Great food! The saltwater pool was amazing.
United States of Americaabsolutely gorgeous location right on the beach, small intimate eco-conscious hotel, relaxing and calm environment
United States of AmericaExcellent location. Nice escape from the city. Close to the beach. Nice size room. Pool was beautiful. Beach was amazing. Great place to surf.
United States of AmericaClean, easy to get to the beach, and wonderful atmosphere! So relaxing! Very family friendly.
United States of AmericaThe location was good. Somewhat secluded, but very private. It had great beach access as well as a very nice pool area. The restaurant and bar served very good food and cocktails.
United States of AmericaThe hotel is gorgeous and I loved the spacious rooms and open floor plan, allowing for privacy as needed. The large windows and porch space were two of my favorite features, I spent a lot of time on the porches doing yoga, reading, writing, and just watching the birds and drinking coffee. I also loved watching the sunrise from my bed. The attention to detail in the rooms was appreciated as well as the overall commitment to sustainability and best practices for the environment, that was definitely a draw for me when making the booking. The restaurant was delicious, I ate dinner there one night and the staff was ultra helpful in making additional recommendations and reservations for other restaurants on the island. I also chatted with the staff about favorite hikes and places to visit. There were beach club parties on Friday and Saturday night. I wasn't able to attend because I was exhausted but I just loved that it was an option. The breakfast was also fantastic!
United States of AmericaOn the beach. Small. Good location on the island. Breakfast buffet was good
United States of AmericaWe had an awesome family suite right on the corner with an amazing view of both the ocean, pool, and the mountains. It was great to have our own private deck with hammock swing to take in the incredible view. We loved the decor of both the lobby/restaurant and the rooms. We also appreciated that even though the area where breakfast is usually served was under construction during our stay, we got our own private breakfast in another villa with very kind staff serving us. Overall would definitely recommend this for a relaxing retreat!
United States of AmericaThe entire resort was beautifully designed. Every where you turned there was a spectacular view. The restaurant had outstanding food and service.
