We had a great 7 night stay at this hotel in September 2024. We booked through Blue Bay Travel who recommended this place highly and I am so glad they did. It surpassed our expectations. The hotel is located about an hour and a half drive from the airport and is in a secluded location. You will not be near any local nightlife or shopping so it's great if you just want to chill out and relax. September is low season so even though this is not a big resort, it never felt crowded at all and the beach felt extemely private. This may be differentnin high season. The resort is surrounded on bith sides by cliffs and truly feels like you're in a castaway island. The rooms are large and clean and we had a beachfront room so it was really easy access to the beach. There were ample beach chairs and each room has a little patio seating place outside if you want a beach view without going on the sand. The hotel has several bird feeders set up all over and you can see several species of birds feeding throughout the day. Food was good although the menu did not change daily at the hotel so those who are there for longer stays may wish for more variety. There was a caribbean buffet one night with local food which was great. Service was slightly slow at times at the hotel with the younger staff but the more experienced staff were always on hand to assist and were really friendly and caring. The chef at the restaurant is so welcoming and makes the best recommendations on the daily specials. They will arrange day trips to Bucco reef and turtle watching in season but be warned that due to the location of the hotel, taxi fares will be expensive. I believe that the hotel is a bit of a favourite with specialist bird watchers who have come here specially to do bird watching hikes. Lastly, and this is no reflection on the hotel, the sea waters are not entirely blue and clear and this is due to silt washing down from rivers in South America due to environmental change and pollution. It was good to learn about this from the guides and divers and it really reinforces the impact of environmental damage worldwide. It doesn't make the waters unsafe for swimming but maybe slightly more difficult to see the fish if you want to snorkel. We would definitely return to this hotel.
