Very cute and chill accommodation, highly recommend. Comfortable and large communal area with incredible ocean views. Quiet and relaxing… lovely bird watching in the morning. Close to great food options. There is a ton of parking. Communal showers and toilets are very clean - ambiente night time lighting - come for a few days to unplug and reconnect with yourself.

This place is amazing, it has great views and a quiet location. Room and shared bahrooms are clean. I would only recommend if they could get some proper towels as the ones they had were not comfy and the bathroom could use some shampoo and shower gel. Overall, it is a beautiful place!

An amazing place with an incredibly friendly and welcoming staff! It’s definitely not your typical place to stay, but that’s exactly what makes it so special. I would highly recommend everyone to give it a try. From the lobby, you have a stunning view over the ocean and if you’re lucky, you might even spot whales and dolphins. Truly a memorable experience.

Perfect location. Beautiful huts. Staff extremely kind, available and useful insights! Would be 5 stars if it wasn't for the extremely noisy and not too efficient AC in the rooms which keeps you awake and the terrible mattress in our cabaña(9). Pillow covers would make it more comfortable. Hopefully will be back!
