We stayed for three nights in two different beachfront villas—one on the ground floor and one on the upper floor. Both rooms were very spacious, with equally large bathrooms. I won’t repeat the many comments already made about the minimalist interior design, but we also felt that the rooms lacked furniture, lighting, and warmth, creating a rather cold atmosphere. While the minimalist concept is understandable, the interiors could have benefited from more attention to detail and thoughtful design elements to make the rooms feel warmer, more inviting, and more distinctive. Fortunately, the stunning ocean views more than compensated for this. The air conditioning worked well, although in room 407 it was not possible to reduce the fan intensity. The safe in one of the rooms was also not functioning. The rooms are equipped with a refrigerator and a coffee machine with complimentary Britt coffee capsules, which was a nice touch. We also appreciated that there is a well-stocked supermarket just a few minutes away, making it easy to buy bottled water, soft drinks, and snacks to keep in the room. Breakfast was excellent. The made-to-order omelette and pancake stations were a highlight, together with a very good selection of fresh fruit, fresh juices, and other breakfast items. The coffee was also excellent, and complimentary Americano coffee was served at no additional charge. Cappuccinos and espressos were available as well, but came at an extra cost. We enjoyed both the bar and the dinner restaurant. The quality of the food was very good, but prices were on the high side, and it was not always clear what additional charges would appear on the bill. Dinner for four people was around USD 200. The daily happy hour from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. was a nice touch, although we sometimes felt that the staff was strongly encouraged to upsell drinks and food. During our stay, we had dinner twice at the hotel restaurant and once in Sámara at Gusto Beach Club, which was a very enjoyable alternative. Both experiences were good, The pool area is outstanding, offering spectacular ocean views, plenty of sun and shade, comfortable loungers, and fresh towels. One thing to note is that the pool towels are not permitted on the beach, so bring your own beach towels if you plan to spend time there. The beach itself is beautiful, with crystal-clear water and perfect conditions for long walks. It is only a two-minute walk from the pool via a well-maintained private access path. There are no restaurants or food vendors directly on the beach, which adds to its peaceful atmosphere. The staff was generally friendly and helpful throughout our stay we. To end on a positive note, the location is truly beautiful. The lush tropical gardens are impeccably maintained and full of wildlife, including many birds and iguanas, making it a wonderful place to immerse yourself in nature. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and would happily return.

“Room with a view”

Wonderful room with a view! Beautiful property. Walk across to the beach wasn’t as convenient. The pool is great, refreshing . The service by the pool could be sporadic when large tour groups arrived wasn’t staffed enough. The food was consistent and delicious.

“Could have been lovely but wish we had researched more before went”

This hotel has a lot of positives , but also some down sides. Firstly it’s not beach side bungalows , it’s a walk downhill across a road from the bungalows. Most bungalows don’t even have a sea view.

This hotel has a lot of positives , but also some down sides. Firstly it’s not beach side bungalows , it’s a walk downhill across a road from the bungalows. Most bungalows don’t even have a sea view. We had a top floor studio which was huge ( bigger than anyone would ever need !) and though our view was the best of the bungalows Infact very beautiful. It could only be admired / seen if you were standing up . You couldn’t enjoy the view with your morning coffee or evening drinks . It felt like sitting in a bunker as the brick wall was so high. Two high stools were provided but not the most comfortable for relaxing . The hotel itself was friendly , mostly good service , lovely breakfasts , great pool . However I would strongly advise not to get a massage at this hotel , meant to be a relaxing luxury , it was far from it . Expensive and an awful experience that I wouldn’t want any other guest to go through . A masseur who was very unwelcoming , made an awkward atmosphere that was hard to relax with. Finished abruptly without any offer of water or taking your time to relax after. I came away feeling most uncomfortable. I did point this out on the day that we left when reception asked for feedback . It was decided that e mailing my concerns to the manager would be the best approach . I did so and was most disappointed that having asked for feedback back my feedback wasn’t taken seriously at all. No reply from manager , chased up several times to be brushed off. Even one message back to say ‘ I hadn’t requested any courtesy ! Surely something a guest should never have to request ! It did leave a very bitter taste from our stay , seemed although the hotel ethos is the comfort and relaxation of all guests when it came to the opposite being the case they certainly weren’t interested . I have since read similar reviews re the bad massage experience and the darkness of the top floor balconies . Wish I’d read it all before as yes these two aspects definitely let down an otherwise enjoyable hotel .
