9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (19 reviews)
"A very peaceful location with great proximity to the airport and near a pleasant village. It is a tidy and compact cottage that was perfect for our family and Patricia was very helpful. It was pleasant to sit outside the cottage and enjoy the lush greenery. It's best not to let kids wander up the driveway toward the main house as there are large guard dogs that can surprise you."

He even left us a lot of bananas, which were delicious. He answered all of our questions and provided us with all of the information we need. The car included was good and did a good job.

Sentido Galosol

10/10 Excellent
"When we arrived the front desk staff were very friendly and welcoming. They provided recommendation at the hotel and nearby area and helped set up reservation for dinner that night at nearby Atlantis Restaurante. The room was clean and had a nice set up with lovely view and balcony overlooking pools and ocean. We enjoyed meals at Atlantis restaurante at sister property within walking distance and breakfast Buffett at Ondamar Buffet Restaurant. We also enjoyed the saltwater pool and swimming in the ocean right off the property. The staff, property, and amenities were all amazing and we wished we could have stayed longer to enjoy everything. Next time we hope to use the snorkeling onsite. We would hughly recommend to others and hope to stay again in the future."
