Gorgeous little beach with sun beds and a bar with amazing fresh juice. They also do beach parties. Lots of monkeys around from the forest, so mind your belongings. #beach

The room was always spotless. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Went out of their way to assist us. The only negative thing I can say is that the internet was on and off.
