It was even better than the pictures! Such a well maintained stunning property, loved being on the top level with garden view was lovely and if you walked around the balcony you could see partial ocean view. The staff were super attentive and remembered you and were there to help with a smile. The restaurant food was lovely, and right across the street we had options of poke, açaí, tacos and a bar. Loved being able to visit the sister property Ahau (10 min walk) which is a larger hotel, the food is more diverse there but more expensive obvi. I think Alaya is more family appropriate and recommend Ahau for adults. Both have a clean white sand beachfront. Will def visit these properties again. We took our two yr old and we Loved loved our stay! Def recommend.
We were able to visit this art museum for free, we went twice, at night when its all lit up and daytime.
