Caribbean Haven Of Nature 'Preci Beach'

Caribbean Haven Of Nature 'Preci Beach'

10/10 Excellent
"This is a great place to slow down and enjoy the sea and on-site amenities, including a pool, hot tub, sand volleyball court, and kid-friendly play spaces. This is very much a home that the owners make available to guests. Cone, the on-site custodian, is available and helpful. It is somewhat remote and while getting there is a bit of a challenge, once there, the serene and peaceful setting allows you to really unwind. At no time, was safety a concern for any of us. If you are looking for a pristine, sterile location this may not be for you, but if you want to feel welcomed into someone’s beach house in a magnificent setting, this place is excellent."

"The hotel is a sleepy bed breakfast located close to the coast next to a tiny village. The property is older it could do a facelift. The single rooms are small, but functional. The air condition worked great. The pool was a big plus .The staff was very helpful and accommodating. My biggest concern was lack of communication when we tried via Expedia to get more information about directions and check-in. However, it worked ok in the end."
