Delicious Dining Experience

“I was thoroughly impressed with the on-site café, Eduardo's, which served really good breakfast options. Each morning, I indulged in their delicious egg Benedict, a true masterpiece, while my partner enjoyed the flavorful shrimp tacos. The convenience of having a healthy, well-thought-out menu just a few steps from our casita made our mornings good.” view full review

Relaxing Pool Atmosphere

“The pool area was a serene oasis. It was beautifully designed with lots of shaded spots and relaxing loungers, making it the ideal place to unwind. Happy hour from 3 to 5 brought a lively but calm atmosphere to the pool, allowing us to enjoy refreshing drinks while mingling with fellow guests in a peaceful setting.” view full review

My stay at this hotel was absolutely delightful. The casitas were spacious and beautifully decorated, perfect for a relaxing getaway. I appreciated the thoughtful amenities, such as the complimentary snacks and infused ice water at the lobby. While the beach is a short walk away, I found the poolside experience to be equally enjoyable. However, I noticed the beach could be crowded at times, which made the pool an appealing alternative. Overall, it was a fantastic place to unwind and I would gladly return.

I had a fantastic stay at this charming hotel, which offered roomy accommodations and a lovely beach feel. The vibrant atmosphere and helpful staff made my experience enjoyable. Although it's just across the street from the beach, it's still a short walk to a beautiful area with lots of restaurants and bars. I found some minor areas for improvement, particularly in handling a car rental issue, but overall, it was great value for money.
