"House made the trip!! Drinking coffee on the patio listening to the birds and nearby howler monkeys. Exploring the area by golf cart and stopping for a bite at Waffle Monkey. Afternoons hanging out in the pool and walking down the beach for a fresh pina colada at Hemingway’s. Cooking group dinners in the oversized kitchen. Spectacular sunsets! Dozing off at night listening to the waves crash."

"We had a wonderful stay! Laurie was absolutely amazing, so responsive and offered great recommendations for food and activities. The property was beautiful and everyone we encountered was so friendly. Our kids loved the pool and had it to themselves. The beach was a little further away than we expected but still convenient.

"If you want to be on a beautiful beach, this place is fantastic. The on-site host, lives next-door, set up our shaded beach shelter every day for us. The road to the place is right on the beach and four-wheel-drive is pretty much needed."

"Beautiful property, loved the private outside sitting area and the beaches! Our favorite beach was the 2minute walk from property, bigger, calm waters, saw 2 devil rays in the surf. Host was very friendly and helpful. No restaurant on property but does have full kitchen.Note: beach in front of hotel is not private and gets busy, loud at times with ATV tours. Guard walks the property at night, makes you wonder why needed. Pool was very warm, not very refreshing. Also note, only bedrooms are air conditioned, main living areas are not!"
