Recent Reviews in Buenaventura

Caribbean Haven Of Nature 'Preci Beach'

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great place to slow down and enjoy the sea and on-site amenities, including a pool, hot tub, sand volleyball court, and kid-friendly play spaces. This is very much a home that the owners make available to guests. Cone, the on-site custodian, is available and helpful. It is somewhat remote and while getting there is a bit of a challenge, once there, the serene and peaceful setting allows you to really unwind. At no time, was safety a concern for any of us. If you are looking for a pristine, sterile location this may not be for you, but if you want to feel welcomed into someone’s beach house in a magnificent setting, this place is excellent."

"Was alone most of the time, only person running the restaurant was around. Good food. Not really good beach, hard rocks underfoot in water. Town doesn’t have much to say for itself. But if you want tropical quiet then this is the place."
