Quiet resort on the bay. Beautiful nearby beach (bahia rajada). Very good food. Pleasant waiters. A la carte breakfast is nice but repetitive and buffet breakfast on weekend is adequate. Rooms: clean but somber. Bed and AC are good. Limited hot water. The highlight here is the kite surfing and no crowds.

This is the second time we’ve stayed at this lovely hotel. It is extremely family friendly. The levels in the pool are great for playing games: the swim bar is fun: the excellent appetizer platter was enough to feed a huge group and was tasty. The rooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. We will be back.

Would definitely stay again. The staff were all great, there were many restaurants within a couple minute drive, and the beach was beautiful and quiet. Sand quality is not as good as some others, but there are dozens of beaches within 5-10 minutes or so. Rooms were spacious and as clean as you can really get on a tropical beach.
