Prefetto per una coppia.
Pros:

La pace, il relax, la cortesia, la camera spaziosa, il giardino.
È possibile ammirare l'alba davanti al mare

Cons:

Il mare non è come me lo aspettavo: impossibile fare il bagno.
Senza auto non è consigliabile per la distanza da santa Catalina, ma la struttura offre un servizio privato a 5$ a: corsa a persona

Parenthèse sauvage
Pros:

Le lieu est sauvage et les chambres sont simples mais agréable.
La piscine est grande et chaude.
Le poisson frit est très bon mais il faut être patient.

Cons:

Le service est très très long...pour dîner compter en moyenne 45 minutes et 30 pour le petit dejeuner.
Rien de grave mais à savoir.

Beautiful & peaceful getaway located on the beach with superb staff.
Pros:

The staff is phenomenal, shout out to Christopher (chef) who was very kind by offering to prepare very early breakfast for me as I had early commitments during my stay. The property is located in a peaceful and serene spot on the beach, perfect to rest and relax. The facilities are clean and functional.

Cons:

The rooms are very basic, the AC was super loud which made it impossible to sleep even with ear plugs. Unfortunately turning off the AC wasn't an option given the temperatures. One morning there was no water due to some plumbing issue and I found multiple cockroaches throughout my stay. Nothing I couldn't handle but not having slept well throughout my stay was not great.

Séjour paisible et ressourçant dans un cadre incroyable et un staff formidable
Pros:

Le cadre magnifique, la piscine, les hamacs, transats ; l’accueil, le cours de yoga, la disponibilité et la gentillesse du personnel; l’accès à la plage et ses magnifiques levés de soleil. Bref tout était parfait ! Merci beaucoup pour ce magnifique séjour !

Cons:

De n’avoir découvert le bar à cocktail à l’étage du restaurant que le dernier jour. Il mériterait d’être signalé et d’avoir accès à la carte des cocktails

The property is unique, quaint and very peaceful. The staff is wonderful and accommodating.
Pros:

The beach was a very short walk from anywhere on the property. The property is outside of town and in a very peaceful area. The staff is top notch with their service and did everything to help us to feel comfortable. The bar upstairs is a very nice update to the restuarant. You can ride horses on the beach, chill in the saltwater pool or just lay around in a hammock and relax.

Cons:

There was always water but on a few days there was no hot water. I didn't mind it as much and got use to it considering the very hot days. I got use to it becaue it was more luke warm and not a cold shower. The days the water was hot it was very hot.

Pros:

The room is clean and fine. If you are just looking for a stay outside of Santa Catalina, this is perfect.
They also have good coffee.

Cons:

Food is a bit expensive here.
Also, the pool was empty when we were there, and the beach is not for swimming.
So car is/was definitly a nessesity.
The had planned a event on Saturday evening, however on Friday they also had very loud music on till late, and the rooms are not sound proof.

Lindo lugar con pobre atención.
Pros:

El lugar está en una zona preciosa, alejada del pueblo de Santa Catalina. Las instalaciones parecen muy buenas y confortables.

Cons:

Los vecinos del predio de al lado tienen música a volúmen súper alto desde la mañana a la noche. Estresante. La piscina estaba sin agua, el predio quedó sin agua en el momento en la mañana para darnos una ducha. Y dicen que tienen desayuno incluido, pero no lo tenían pensado realmente. Ni lo sirven a las 7 de la mañana como declaran. Son gente simpática pero la atención no es esmerada en absoluto.
