Great boutique hotel. Has everything you need to have a peaceful vacation. The pool was pretty and the hotel was quiet. The beach area was calm and not overcrowded! There are good restaurants close by or you can eat at Zota. Vanessa and Johanna were great at servicing the bar/lunch area and for breakfast.
