Categories

Cleanliness
7.8
Most guests repeatedly described the property as clean ('very clean', 'bonito y limpio'), but a serious outlier reported a strong mold smell causing them to leave, lowering this score.
Service
9.4
Multiple positive mentions of friendly, accommodating owners and quick responses (Nicole, Holgan); one complaint about staff absence and complaints handled only via an app.
Location
9.8
Consistently praised for being very close to the beach, easy beach access and great sunsets; location is a standout feature in many reviews.
Room Quality
8
Rooms described as stylish, cozy and comfortable by many, but several guests noted very small room/ bathroom sizes and at least one report of a very hard bed.
Amenities
8.4
Beach items and towels provided and pet-friendly notes are positives; some missing/limited amenities noted (no outdoor shower, small kitchen lacking a stove/burner, stairs/no elevator).
Value for Money
8.4
Several guests called it great value for the location and service, though one negative review suggested quality matched the low price given the mold incident.
Food and Beverage
7.8
No on-site food service mentioned; a few guests appreciated a kitchen but also noted it was small and sometimes missing a burner, so F&B options are limited.
Overall Experience
9.2
Majority of reviews are very positive (repeat stays, 'magical', 'perfection', recommend to return). A small number of notable negatives temper but do not dominate overall impressions.

Pros:

The price? But you get what gon pay for that’s for sure

Cons:

I really enjoyed spending my weekend at this property. Waking up right on the beach was amazing.
Pros:

The location is amazing!

Cons:

The space of the room!
Is very tiny!

I suggest that the property owner install an outdoor shower, since there isn't one on the beach.
