The staff were really friendly. The room was spacious enough for a family of 4 adults. It was close to Playa Carrillo and only 15min drive from Samara. The steakhouse attached to the hotel was also delicious! We ate there both nights. Highly recommend this stay to experience a more local beach town!

8 minutes to walk to the amazing Playa de Carrillo. This accommodation is not only perfect in its location but for everyone who would like to exit busy touristy places. The staff was super-nice and the pools just in front of our apartment door have been excellent. Our 5yrs old daughter just loved to start and end her days with it. Apartment was basic equipped but more than enough to make our stay very comfortable. The selection on the breakfast was typical for the region, well sized and delicious. Would always select this place again when returning to the region.

This is a sweet little family friendly place. The young lady who checked us in (sorry for the spelling) Ballidia was very helpful with everything we asked, she even hooked us up with Rene of Horse Paradise for an amazing ride along the beach and up to a breath taking view in the jungle.
