9.6/10 Exceptional! (55 reviews)
Fernando & Ian were amazing hosts. We really enjoyed them & their company. It's a very unique Hotel full of art & stories. Our bungalow however I found to be gloomy. The kitchen had no sponge and very watered down dish detergent. 1 plate & bowl with no paper towels or napkins. The bathroom was extremely dated with 1 tiny round mirror and really bad lighting also the sink was clogged so we had to brush our teeth and wash our faces in the kitchen. Good water pressure in the shower though. If this bungalow didn't lead to the most magical garden I would have switched properties. It's beautiful & at night if you can imagine it was even more magical!! That along with Fernando & Ian was this propertys saving grace for us. If your looking for something different this may be the stay for you.

ocean view is a little deceptive....room near the end of the hall over a parking lot. barely an ocean view. Not worth complaining to change rooms, but otherwise, everything was great. gloria, the housekeeper was fantastic, always very pleasant when we saw her. The beach was amazing. everything was great!

The staff was very friendly. The food was mediocre. The property is run down, but seems to be undergoing renovations. Only 2 of the 4 restaurants were open, and one restaurant took over an hour to bring dinner. The beach is perfection. I wouldn't go back to this hotel specifically, but I'll be back to this beach spot.
