Exceeded expectations

The reviews hold true we had a perfect stay, and Nadia and Salvatore made it so. Tons of space in the 2br apartment, sloth hanging in the tree, and the food made up in the kitchen was top notch. Would love to stay there again.

I thought Nadia, the host was very nice. The place is beautiful. I love the relaxing sounds of the waves and she was very nice. There was a problem with one of the rooms and she didn't charge us for the inconvenience of that room. That is a good host. Had a great time in this beautiful island.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is misrepresented on Expedia, this is NOT part of the Tesoro Hotel, and is seperate management from the hotel altogether. It is in fact a 10 minute walk to the hotel and it's private beaches and restaurant, and you can't just rock up to the hotel, you have to make a reservation. The guest house is very run down, the fotos are clearly taken a long time ago and are heavily edited. The kitchen is underwhelming, with little to no tools. Dirty old pans, no glasses to drink out of. I am extremely surprised to see a 4.7 rating, although this is based on reviews pre-pandemic. The whole place is falling apart, the drains overflowed, the toilet was set crooked, so you are tilting heavily to the left side. There is NO privacy whatsoever as the ceiling is open, there are flimsy divisions between the 'rooms', you can hear absolutely everything. The journey back and forth to this spot is treacherous, extremely bumpy unpaved road. If you are going to want to eat out, you are 30 minutes walk away from the nearest places, also 30 minutes outside of town by taxi ($15 each way). Loads of mosquitos in the morning and evening, and bats flying through the gaps in the ceiling. Not for people that want any degree of comfort - more like a run down hostel, but at luxury hotel prices. Traveler beware!

Remote, tranquil, amazing

Remote, tranquil, ecolodge. I loved it! Just a couple heads up for those staying at the guest house vs the lodge. It is about a .3mile walk down the dirt road from the main lodge. Will need to walk to lodge for breakfast and dinner. I enjoyed the walk but it can be very dark at dinner time. Nadia was very helpful in arranging taxis, etc. I did have a private bathroom but it was across the hall from my room. Not sure if that is the case with all the rooms or just mine. The private balcony was amazing and I spent most of my time there. Internet worked well also.

This is the coolest place I have ever stayed! Basically a super cool surf shack. Nadia is a very good Italian cook. This is not for everyone. No air conditioning, but we didn’t need it. Open so the ocean breeze blows through. Far enough away from town to feel peaceful. Absolutely incredible view! Sound of surf put me to sleep every night.

6/10 Okay

pleasant stay

I stayed 2 nights with my partner and I must say that the location and surrounding was wonderful .The house had artistic touch but not modern . My concern was the restriction on the usage of water and the insects as it was in natural area by the water .There were lots of cats in the house. The public transport was not frequent or reliable and had to take taxis costing 15-20 dollar each way during the day and 25 at night.

Hidden Treat

The hotel is very isolated, more than I expected. A long walk to the next hotel/restaurant. The beach at Playa Bluff was very picturesque, but rough for swimming. Quite a lot of wildlife in the area, I saw a snake, howler monkeys, pelicans, a few raptors, so that was a bonus. The hotel was fine, good for a short stay, I think it might become a bit claustrophobic after a few days.

Lovely place right in the jungle.

Only a 10 minute walk to the beach. I loved being in the jungle and not right in town. Sleeping in the sounds of the jungle was an amazing experience.

Génial

Superbe séjour au Tesoro Escondido en particulier due aux hôtes qui ferons tout pour que vous soyez bien. Un peu retiré de la ville, l'hotel est au bord de l'eau, à 10 minutes à pied de Playa Bluff. Je recommande leurs pates italiennes qui sont délicieuses. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter.
