Wonderful small hotel. We had an apartment with kitchen, two bedrooms and a balcony right on the beach. The hotel had a nice restaurant for food and drinks. It was a 7 minute walk on the beach to restaurants in town.

What an AMAZING hotel! The location is perfect, just a 1 min walk to the beach through stunning jungle on a private path and a 5 min walk to shops and restaurants. Everything about the hotel was perfect for us, the room was beautiful and we loved the private outside space to sit and watch monkey, birds, iguanas & geckos while enjoying a nice cold beer. Both pools were very welcome after a busy day exploring and the food was delicious. I think the best thing about the hotel was all the staff! They were so friendly, always happy to chat, very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. It’s clear they all enjoy their jobs as they were always smiling, happy and laughing with each other giving the hotel a very friendly and relaxed feel. Ines and Nikole on the front desk in particular went above and beyond helping with restaurant suggestions and bookings even sending me menu’s from a number of local restaurants so I could check there would be something my fussy son would eat! Not to mention telling us the best place to go to find local handmade souvenirs.

    The location was great, right on the beach and next door to Patos surf school which was the best place to learn to surf! The rooms were large, clean and comfortable. The restaurant was delicious and overall a great hotel!

    Best location ever, we had a balcony with beach view. Even if taking a different room the restaurant is fantastic. There are tables on the beach beneath palm trees, a wonderful place for drinking smoothies amd cocktails. The beach is wide and nearly empty. Good for surfing as well.
