10/10 Excellent
"We had the loveliest stay at Explorar. The food, staff, beach, accommodations and building is incredible. The only feedback is to inquire guest preferences (smoking or non). We were given the only ocean front room with a partial balcony, and spent every single day out ok the balcony so that was unfortunate, but the kicker was that The smoking area was right below us. We are two very health conscious non-smokers, who religiously use the gym and take care of ourselves. It was too bad to have such a small balcony for people that used it and have to breath in heavy amounts of smoke almowt every use. Two unfortunate things that are very easily fixable imo. Just inquire to guests if theyโ€™re non-smoking and make sure their room is away from the designated smoking space. Otherwise absolutely amazing stay. Minn was incredible!"
