Very nice comfortable stay. From the hotel we went whale and dolphin watching. Saw a sea turtle, Fin Whale and look clos
Pros:

The property was very convenient and staff was super nice. We stayed on the top floor and had very restful days. When we relaxed on the varanda we could sit and watch all the surfing. Many restaurants including a vegetarian restaurant (buffet all you can eat) nearby. Thank you!

Pros:

I truly enjoyed my stay here. The hotel is right on the beach, which made every day feel relaxing and special. The breakfast was tasty and had everything I needed to start the morning well. The staff were extremely kind, always smiling and ready to help with anything.
I especially enjoyed sitting on the balcony in the evening, listening to the sound of the waves.
It’s also an amazing spot for surfing, great for both beginners and more experienced surfers. I will definitely come back, and I happily recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful and relaxed beach stay. 🌊✨

Cons:

The Wi-Fi didn’t really work, but honestly, with so much happening around i barely even noticed it.
