The breakfast was amazing. Michelle was attentive and made us feel relaxed and at home! The house itself is beautiful, comfortable, perfectly located, bright and spacious. The garden is perfectly manicured and tranquil. The views from the balcony are breathtaking. The area is safe and the lagoon is right on the doorstep. I've never felt more relaxed.

Absolutely loved our stay. Adelle and Mark and all of their staff made us feel like we were at home. Adelle cooked a wonderful breakfast for me, catering to my allergies and vegan dietary requirements and each day was tastier than the last! The guest house is beautiful, comfortable, and very peaceful. Overall the stay was perfect. Would highly recommend and I'm looking forward to us going back there!

An excellent stay at Amanzi where we were able to experiment two different rooms. Both were very comfy. The fisherman suite is awesome with its private pool and very large bathroom. The view from the room is stunning. We loved to be able to do kayaking in the morning (the hotel provides kayak for free). Miriam was very diligent to help us booking some nice restaurants always with a wonderful view seating.
