This is a great place on a quiet, quaint street right on the beach and walking distance (5 minutes) to great restaurants and cafes, shops. Both pool areas are great: the main pool is heated and right by the beach; the second pool has a relaxing vibe. The hotel has access to a gym (2 min walk) that offers great yoga classes. The staff is super friendly; special thanks to Eric for connecting us with amazing excursions guy Pedro. We had a two bedroom penthouse with a terrace. Great views from the terrace and loved the spaciousness. Overall, highly recommend.

Overall it was a great experience: (+) Spacious and clean condos, friendly and helpful staffs, Beautiful view and great restaurant on the beach with fresh fish. Walking distance to main Street, public beach and stores. (-) Mosquitos mostly due to plants and season and we had wasp but it has been taken care. Condo is a bit old and ventilation is not great. No swimming beach.

Not much of a beach view, my unit was in the back. I rated due to TV’s did not work or coffee machine. Also note there are no elevators. The jacuzzi is separate and you have to walk upstairs to use balcony. Overall it’s a nice property and at walkable distance to many things.

Unique place with beautiful interiors for the price, with large rooms, nice (cold) pools and decent food options. Staff were helpful. Beach front is very basic with boats and rocks but there are other options nearby too. Very central location close to most that the town has to offer.

Condo is very nice and clean. Staff is spectacular. Pools just ok, not a a lot of seating and surprisingly very cold. Hot tub in main pool is not heated? Pool and hot tub on street side is good but only a few seats. Overall, due to the awesome staff, location and cleanliness it is a great place to stay!
