Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. On the one hand, the proximity to the construction site next to my room was a bit of a nuisance, but on the other hand, the stunning room with the comfiest bed made up for it. However, ensure to keep a close eye on your valuables.
My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were spacious, and I loved the indoor/outdoor shower concept. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making my sleep unforgettable. However, the service could use some improvement, as there were delays in addressing issues. The location, right on Santa Teresa beach, was perfect for relaxation and enjoying the beautiful surroundings.
Wow, this hotel is a gem! It's nestled perfectly on the Santa Teresa beach, giving you your own space while still enjoying top-notch service. The rooms were superbly clean, but be prepared for a bit of humidity due to the lush environment. The service, though extremely professional, could use a slight touch-up. I had a memorable experience overall.
The hotel sits perfectly on the Santa Teresa beach, offering a high level of service from the staff. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and the dining experience, although a bit pricey, offers the unique charm of breakfast on the beach with the adorable 'house dog' Blue. The hotel's location is superb for those wanting a serene beachfront experience.
