We stayed in the Honeymoon suite and it is was amazing. The building is an architectural master piece, the room was amazingly spacious. Staff were friendly and the ownermade a plan for us as we had made a mistake with our dates and had nowhere to stay.. Most importantly the view and location are absolutely prime. Right on the beach and in a really upmarket secure neighborhood. Definitely coming back.

We had a very nice stay. The accommodation is modern, clean, and beautiful. The rooms are spacious. We also enjoyed the breakfast. The host is friendly and gives us good tips. We saw whales at breakfast.

A fantastic guesthouse with a magical view of the Pacific Ocean. We even saw dolphins there. The team is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the breakfast includes fresh fruit and all kinds of egg dishes. There’s a Nespresso machine in the room.
