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.

Overall, the ambiance, beautiful scenery, and great wildlife experiences were highlights, but the service felt a bit lacking at times.

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