"Great staff, very clean room, Chef prepared some interesting food which made for lovely social evenings. Recommend everything except a couple noisy coqui frogs."
"This was a perfect place to stay. The host couple are incredibly kind and caring. You can tell they truly put their heart into taking care of the whole property.
The room was very clean and spacious. Everything was well prepared — TV, microwave, coffee, towels, extra blankets — all thoughtfully provided.
The view from the balcony was beautiful. Occasionally, their rescued little cats would stop by to say hello, which made the stay even more special.
This is definitely a place I would come back to again.

"Beautiful resort in a stunning, peaceful location. Spacious grounds, excellent service, and a calm luxury vibe without feeling stuffy. The beach and lagoon are perfect for relaxing, and the sunsets are incredible. Rooms are comfortable and well maintained. A great balance of resort amenities and laid-back island feel would happily return"
