My stay was absolutely incredible, but what truly stood out was their breakfast. Each morning, I was greeted with a feast for the senses. The breakfast spread was not only delicious but also exquisitely presented, featuring a diverse array of fresh fruits, pastries, and hot dishes. The oceanfront dining experience made it even more unforgettable, allowing me to savor my meal while taking in the breathtaking views. It was the perfect way to start each day of my stay.

The property was well equipped, very clean and comfortable. The ocean view from the balcony was amazing and a great spot for watching the sunrise in the mornings. The check in and out process was also straight forward and the owners were very responsive to all messages.

The owner was super efficient and very helpful. I was travelling with a family member with poor disabilities and Moisés the owner was of great help and made us feel so welcome. I suggest taking the pick up option too.

The host was very nice, he helped me park the car, and was always available. When I had troubles with a snoring and sick room partner, he offered me a different room. The rooms are clean and minimalistic. The bathroom was also clean. The beds are not so comfortable but they do for the purpose of sleeping. I was there in summer and had a light blanket but it was enough because it was hot outside. The location is great. It’s next to the airport, there is a beach down the road and a spot where you can also swim. I saw many jump in the water and swim there. Also restaurants and a supermarket nearby. But food inside the room is not allowed. So important to eat before you go to the room. I rented a car so I was flexible to move through the island. And at night it was nice to return to a spot which is safe and easy to reach. look, it’s not a resort. It’s for a purpose :). The purpose of sleeping and that’s it. It has wlan (network), it has a shared bathroom, it has a bed in a shared room. You spend the day in the island and at evening return there and sleep :). It’s good for arrival and departure day. Or days where you are nearby anyways. Also there is a costal hike which is not far from there. Best part is that the host is very nice. He respond fast. He helps with problems and is very polite. I like to support people like this because it’s genuine :).
