Amazing stay on the Beach
This is one of the nicest properties we have stayed in during this trip. The suite had everything in it and was incredibly comfortable. The area on the second floor was amazing and the views of the dolphins were fantastic.

Location was perfect. The upstairs lounge was just down the hall from our room so we felt like we were staying at a friend's house. Perfect location to watch the sunrise without going outside.

It was locally owned, smaller guest home that had amazing staff, family friendly and extremely accommodating after having to change dates last minute due to a flight cancellation. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a secluded but elegant home environment.

Amazing stay
On the beach guesthouse was an amazing experience. The rooms were beautifully appointed and the views were even better than we hoped. Breakfast was excellent and there was an honesty bar offering all the drinks you would want. Lots of restaurants nearby and of course direct access to the beach. We watched dolphins swimming in the sea from our balcony, an amazing sight. If we are back in the area we will definitely return to this place.
