Our family of 4 stayed 5 nights and it was an amazing experience. Very clean, spacious and the AC at night made sleeping very comfortable! It was exactly as advertised. Highly recommend!

The place is gorgeous!!! We loved the jungle behind us, and the ocean view in front. Location is good, an easy boat taxi to various places. Matt and Morgan were terrific, they gave us great advice and helped with any need we had. All the equipment; snorkel gear, kayaks and paddle boards were in great shape and good quality. The only reason that I can’t give it a 5 star is that it rained a lot when we were there and we needed a covered space; an umbrella or covered deck to be able to enjoy a meal or game in the rain. We did run out of power as well, which was likely our fault as we were trying to stream the Olympic hockey games and had the TV on much of the day. Overall the pictures don’t lie, the place is very beautiful.
