A hidden gem near the waves

Our family loved the relaxing pool, and the spacious family villa provided ample room for us to unwind after a day of adventure. The proximity to the beach allowed for quick trips to surf or relax by the ocean.

However, the unpaved road to the villas made it a bit challenging to transport our luggage, and we could hear music from nearby bars at night, which might disturb light sleepers.

absolutely not impressed with this so-called hotel. the road to the villas is not even paved, which is just charming. after all, who doesn't enjoy lugging their bags uphill? and let’s not forget, we had a pool that we didn't use due to its lackluster cleanliness. I almost thought about leaving a good review, but just couldn’t.

Spacious accommodation with a well-equipped kitchenette.

Unfortunately, my experience was quite frustrating. The unpaved road leading to the villas made carrying my luggage a hassle, and there was no transportation offered to assist with this. Additionally, the distance from the entrance to my room was far, leading to constant uphill treks with bags. The pool was unclean during my entire stay, making it unusable, and I also experienced issues with noisy neighbors who disrupted my peace regularly.

we enjoyed the spacious villa with an adequately equipped kitchen, making it easy to whip up meals. the staff were super friendly, always ready to help out. beach access was a breeze, just a short walk away!

a bit noisy from the nearby bars 🌙

Loved the spacious family villa! The kids enjoyed the pool after our beach trips, which was just across the street. The friendly staff truly made our stay wonderful, and we particularly appreciated the welcoming atmosphere for our service dog during our visit.

My wife says that the path to the villas was tricky with our luggage.

Had an amazing time with friends! The pool view room was perfect for relaxation after a day at the beach. We explored stunning nearby spots for horseback riding and surfing. The staff was super friendly and made our stay even better. Good restaurants are close by, making dining a breeze!

can recommend for a short stint

Spacious villa, well-equipped kitchenette, with a great pool that our family loved and a fantastic location right across the street from the beach with a two-minute walk down to the water.

The family villa offered spacious accommodations equipped with a handy kitchenette, perfect for preparing meals. The pool was a fantastic way for the kids to unwind after a day at the beach, which is conveniently just a short walk away. While the friendly staff enhanced our experience significantly, the unpaved road to the villas posed challenges when transporting our luggage. Additionally, we could hear music from nearby bars at night, which might disturb some guests looking for a quieter atmosphere.

the pool was great for the family! (the kids loved it) the staff were super friendly and attentive. beach access was just across the street, so easy to get to. several restaurants within walking distance too!

The location is fantastic, just a short walk to St Teresa beach and cozy eateries. 🏖️

The unpaved path to the villas could be improved for easier luggage transfers.

Great pool, friendly staff, but noisy music from bars at night.

Spacious rooms with great beach access

The villa I stayed in was surprisingly spacious with a well-equipped kitchenette that made meal prep easy. You can't beat the location, just a quick walk across the street to the beach! Plus, the pool was perfect for unwinding after a day in the sun. One downside was that the path to the villa was unpaved, which made lugging luggage a bit tricky.
