First solo trip, so glad I picked Cactus Lodge ❤️

My stay at Cactus Lodge was heavenly. My first time traveling alone from the US (New York), I am so glad I booked my stay here. The place hidden in plain sight, opening up the gate to a gorgeous beach vibe. The hotel rooms were very clean, spacious and well air conditioned. Hot water was almost immediate as you turn it on. It was so easy to confirm excursions through the owner/staff and it is very close to all the nightlife. All of the staff were amazing also. So kind, they made me feel so safe. They were quick to assist me with my needs, providing suggestions (including eating at Mama Mia on the beach) and had breakfast ready on-time before my excursions. I wish I had more days to spend there but I will definitely be back.

En oas i det hektiska vimlet utanför. Bra service, trevlig personal, mysig omgivning. Rummet var rent och fint. Varje morgon servererades välgjord och god frukost. Otroligt härligt ställe som verkligen rekommenderas!
