9.8/10 Exceptional! (10 reviews)
Place was nice and very well located but the process to check in was not as smooth as expected, I kept asking for the instructions to check in as we were already there and instructions were not sent. The place is spacious and well located, but there was a window door not looking and never got a replied from the host just after we left saying sorry I missed your message. It is very close to the Main Street so can be loud of cars at some points.

We had a great stay at Tango Mar. The owner always greeted us each day to see how we were or how our day was. The staff were so friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious! I took advantage of the spa and had an incredible massage. Gorgeous views of the ocean right out your window and the multiple pools to cool off in with the heat. Swimming beaches were a short drive away if you wanted to swim in the ocean.

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Nya. From driving up to the beautiful property, we were hooked. When we met our first staff member who checked us in, and the server who provided a welcome cava, along with all the other Nya faces, we knew this was going to be special. We were not wrong. From the beautiful beach and stunning trail along the water, the excellent food, abundant wildlife, and wonderful accommodations, Nya never disappointed. We only wish we had a longer stay!
