Great boutique hotel. Has everything you need to have a peaceful vacation. The pool was pretty and the hotel was quiet. The beach area was calm and not overcrowded! There are good restaurants close by or you can eat at Zota. Vanessa and Johanna were great at servicing the bar/lunch area and for breakfast.

Clean rooms, easy check in. The easy access to the beach and pool was perfect for our family and just what we were hoping for. Staff at the pool and beach were helpful and efficient. Only complaint was during our dinner: service was slow and the air conditioner condensation was dripping from the ceiling onto our table. Overall, we would be happy to stay here again!
