Had a great stay. Quiet place with a beautiful beach. A couple of good restaurants within walking distance. A special shout out to Aurelio at front desk who went above and beyond to help us plan excursions. 4 star is due to no functioning hot water during our 5 day stay while they did try fixing it. Thankfully it was very hot outside.

This was a lovely stay in a unique property, with a main floor and a loft. Parking was convenient and the kitchen included all we needed. A car was necessary, was there are not a lot of dining/shopping options within walking distance.

Rooms are quite old, but clean. As most of the old resort, À/C was not working well and fridge didn’t keep the drinks cold. However, the food was good, specially in the specialty restaurants.
