      relaxed atmosphere
      weak wifi

      The lodge's proximity to the beach was fantastic, allowing me easy access to the surf anytime. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxed, and I found the facilities to be top-notch, especially the yoga sessions that helped me unwind after a day of surfing. The room was clean and cozy, creating a perfect retreat after an adventurous day.

      The WiFi connection wasn't very strong at times, which made it hard to stream shows.

      clean pool
      fresh breakfast

      beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

      The grounds were fine with lush greenery surrounding the beautiful and clean pool, perfect for a relaxing evening swim. Breakfast was good, featuring fresh options that made starting the day enjoyable, and the vibe was chill. Just a short five-minute walk to the beach offered easy access for surfing and enjoying the ocean waves!

      100% recommend 😊❤️

      surf beach
      wifi outages
      noise disturbances

      cozy treehouse, perfectly located surf beach, invigorating yoga sessions

      It would be helpful to add shower gel to the amenities!!! The WiFi connection could definitely use improvement to avoid frustrating outages!!! Also, noise at night might disrupt others hoping for a peaceful sleep!!!

      clean room
      cozy vibe
      helpful staff
      long meal wait
      minimum necessities

      I stayed in a Double Room for 3 nights, and it was simple but surprisingly cozy. Super clean, which I really appreciated. The minimum necessities were there, and the vibe of the place just felt right. It’s a chill spot to relax after a day on the beach. The only thing is, I wished the meals didn’t take so long to arrive, but they were definitely worth the wait!

      noisy nights

      Such a serene place with delicious, fresh food! The garden ambiance was lovely. However, it got a bit noisy at night, which would be my only downside.

      beach bungalow
      exceptional staff
      sunset yoga
      amenity lack

      Staying here with my whole family was fantastic. The beach bungalow offered us privacy while allowing easy access to the gorgeous beach. The staff were truly exceptional, remembering my one-year-old's name and sharing joyful moments with him. We also enjoyed a peaceful sunset yoga session at the palapa.

      My wife says that adding a shower gel would help families.

      Awesome chill spot!

      We had the best time here! The staff treated us like family, so warm and welcoming. The super clean rooms and great surf vibes made relaxing easy. Loved the in-room breakfast, especially the fresh fruit! Just wish the WiFi was a little stronger sometimes. Perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beach life.

      delicious dining
      unreliable wifi
      slow meals
      noise level

      The atmosphere was alive with joy, thanks to the incredibly friendly staff who always had smiles to share. The fresh local products featured in every meal contributed to the delicious dining experience, making each dish a delight. A standout moment was the fantastic snorkeling excursion organized by the staff, which truly added to the experience. However, there were moments when the WiFi was a bit unreliable, which made it challenging to stay connected. Additionally, the meals took longer to arrive than expected, but they were well worth the wait. Lastly, a stronger emphasis on soundproofing could enhance the overall tranquility.

      great location but slow meal service

      The location is fantastic! Just a short walk to the beach and an easy stroll to nearby food options. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every need is met during my stay. The garden view was beautiful and provided a serene escape after a long day of surfing.

      The meals took longer than expected to arrive.
