"We stayed for 1 night, but felt very comfortable and safe. The room was clean, the AC was very cold, and the staff were excellent. The breakfast we delicious! We had transportation arriving later in the day, and the staff held our bags in the back which was greatly appreciated as we went to the beach for the day. The only thing I wish was a little different was if there were softer pillows provided, but I would not hesitate to stay again."
"This is a brand new boutique hotel. Simple and gorgeous! We arrived a little early and they had just replaced the electrical meter. They were super apologetic that they could let us into our room, but no power. It was only half an hour so we just waited by the pool. Once we were in, we were pleased with how gorgeous and thoughtful the room was. The shower is beautiful, simple but elegant decor. We had the kitchen suite, didn’t use any of it but it was set up nicely if you wanted to prepare some...
"It was very nice, very clean, all the staff was so friendly and helpful. The decor inside and outside was so classy, the pool was so refreshing.
The water pressure in the shower could have been turned up a bit.
We will come back again."
