I’ve been lucky enough to visit more than 30 countries, and obviously countless hotels. I have never stayed anywhere as beautiful and utterly rewarding as ‘A Piece of Paradise’ though. This place will stay with me forever. 💕 Thank you Ayana, Dora and all the staff for making this place so incredibly special.

This sweet little cabin is located in a wonderful, natural area near La Laguna (lake) and Cerro Picacho (mountain). The setting and grounds are beautiful and the lake is within walking distance. The trailhead to a Cerro Picacho hike is on the way to the lake. There is warm water in the shower in the stunning bathroom and a kitchen with all of the equipment you need to cook your meals (there are no restaurants in the area). Bring your hiking shoes and portable chairs so you can enjoy the outside space! Check-in was super easy and the place was spotless!

Beautiful garden, beautiful cabañas, we had a separate kitchen that was AMAZING, everything you need was there. The wifi was superfast aswell. Kind welcome gift & card. All made with love & care. The location is very remote, perfect for some time off. The beach is very beautiful and only a short walk away. Sometimes you can swim, sometimes it’s dangerous. Host was responsive but we didn’t meet them personally.
