An amazing tranquil spot to relax and unwind. Simple, yet beautiful. The staff was very helpful, the food at the restaurant food fresh and delicious. The beach is a great spot to hang out and either surf, boogie board, or bob around in the waves.

It was good. We basically had the place to ourselves as the rest of the cabinas and restaurant were undergoing renovations, so it was a trade off. We were there for the location right on the beach at Playa Negra and ease of access for surfing. Enjoyed watching the waves from the pool. The one thing was that there were more bugs in the room than I remembered last time I stayed there, but you’re in the jungle so… seems like the renovations are sealing up the rooms tighter and we did see someone treating the perimeter of the rooms and didn’t see bugs after that.

Great peaceful room with lots of wildlife. Great service at the restaurant. Amazing location for a getaway to surf or do yoga. Far from night life and tours, but we really enjoyed our stay.

This is a great, secluded spot with beachfront access, an on-site restaurant and bar, and a surf shop with rental snorkel, boogie boarding and surfing equipment. There are flowering bushes that smell wonderful and their fragrance is delightfully strong. The hammocks and yoga room overlooking the beach were special too. I’m vegetarian and was also pleased to find a number of items on the breakfast and all day menus I could enjoy. The cabins were clean and they were cleaned daily. You won’t find air conditioning but the ocean breeze, screened windows, tropical shutters and overhead fan were sufficient for me. It’s rustic and simple, but thoughtfully designed and all my needs were met. NOTE: I stayed in one of the original 10 cabins. There are newer ones on site with some upgrades (not sure what) that are listed as suites on the hotel website. The downsides? The second half of my stay, I was plucking hundreds of no-see-ums off of my bed each day, and dodging moths, beetles, caterpillars, geckos and a roach inside my cabin. It wasn’t a lack of hygiene or cleaning: the gaps around the door make it impossible to keep critters out. I’m not sure what more could be done, other than hanging mosquito nets around the bed. My only other complaint is that the smell from the septic system would waft every so often near the pool and my cabin. If you’re looking for a self-contained, peaceful space for a chill solo or a family trip, this property is great.

Love the daily yoga and surf lessons. The staff was great and we enjoyed breakfast a lot. I read that breakfast was free but we ended up having to pay so I'm not sure what that was about. The smoothies are fantastic and perfect for a hot day. The only negative was the drain in our bathroom had a bad sewage smell coming from it. Other than that, we loved our stay. Thank you!
