Rolando and the other staff were wonderful. The setting, especially the palm-tree-shaded sitting area, made us want to stay twice as long. Location is close to everything you need. We also really enjoyed our included breakfasts at Buon Appetito!

Clean room, great staff and so close to the beach! Only reason for not having five stars is our last night we heard music until about 3:30 am. Not sure where it was coming from, but it definitely affected our sleep.

Loved being right on the beach, and access to hammocks, and having a little private place to sit facing the sea. Simple and comfy room. I recommend walking to Derecho Sagrado for an outstanding cup of coffee.

We had a really lovely three night stay. Both Rolando and Audrey were helpful and nice. The room really suited our family with the king size bed on the main floor and twin beds in the loft. We enjoyed breakfast in the restaurant that shares the site and the massages in the tent on site were fabulous and so well priced. We only wish we could have stayed longer.
