This hotel offers a stunning location near the beach with beautiful scenery and clean, comfortable accommodations. I enjoyed the outdoor nature trails accessible from the hotel, but I found the dining options to be lacking in quality and variety, which was disappointing. Overall, it's a great place for those seeking natural beauty and relaxation, but be prepared for some dining challenges.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful, especially with the peaceful environment and stunning ocean views. The villa felt luxurious, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. However, if you're looking for lots of dining options or a more vibrant atmosphere, this might not be the right fit. The restaurant experience was less than ideal during one of our visits, which dampened the overall impression.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, enjoying the beautiful beachfront and the well-maintained pool area. The owner, Hilda, made sure everything ran smoothly and the overall vibe was relaxed and tranquil. However, the dining options could use some variety, given I had the same starter each evening.

The hotel offers a stunning environment for relaxation, especially if you appreciate nature and wildlife, but some aspects of our stay were inconsistent. While our room had a lovely view and was overall pleasant, we felt left out regarding our honeymoon arrangements.

The hotel is perfect for a romantic getaway, offering privacy with its unique chalet-style accommodations and beautiful ocean views.
