The charming on-site restaurant serves a customizable breakfast, catering to personal preferences, while a refreshing bar offers local favorites such as the popular maracuyá smoothie.

“This place it's a real experience. The rooms are unique huts . Easy access to the lagoon with daily paddle board or kayak use unlimited daily. They have a restaurant that provides breakfast every morning, their menu is very limited but you can customize it if needed. The employees are amazing always available to help, they have a WhatsApp number where you can text anytime and they will response right away for questions, concerns or suggestions. (Be aware of critters, you will find them inside your room. ) they have 3 piers to access the lagoon with steps. The maracuyá smoothie from the bar is the bes! Very fresh and sweet. You can buy your own inflatable donuts in town and use them in the lagoon, pets are welcome. The moonrise every night is an awesome experience from the main pier, so don't miss it. They also offer their own tours in Sail and Jetski. Don't miss out on this place. We had a garden view room with a king size bed and our own restroom. However if you can get a room facing the lagoon it's totally worth it. Ah and before I forget they have a massage location in front of the water which makes this an even better experience!”

Their attention to detail and friendly attitude made every interaction a pleasure. The room was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, offering all the comforts I could ask for. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the amenities were top-notch. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for outstanding service, beautiful accommodations, and a prime location.”
