"Kinga was the most welcoming of hosts, she is creating a little patch of paradise and the cabana that we stayed in was blissful. Clean, comfortable, and with the most exquisite views to wake up to. Sad we were only there for one night, I could have stayed a month, thank you so much Kinga for your wonderful hospitality xx"

"This well maintained, beautifully landscaped, staffed with friendliness and attentiveness Resort is one of a kind. The uniquely named Casitas surrounded by greenery, bordering the aqua ocean is so calming and aesthetically inviting. It is a place with a very relaxing, calm, quiet vibe. The culinary delights through breakfast lunch and dinner were exceptional. Everything freshly made. This was a perfect Group vacation to celebrate a birthday and I highly recommend this place to anyone considering it."
"the resort was beautiful. loved the pool the kitchen was very nice .very clean. Eiden was very nice and helpful...activity director Karen was awsome and very helpful . making sure all our activities were set up. due to mother nature the beach was not available but there were other beaches near by. karen booked us a tour to check out the Mayan ruins and cave tubing with lunch included. we had an awsome time.....Eddy and Mike {tour guides} were really cool and made sure everyone was comfortable and was having a great time ,they also were very knowledgeable"
"I enjoyed being able to go around island on golf cart. Also no problem getting to other island or mainland by water taxie. Food was great and beautiful weather. Only thing on the side of island we stayed there was seaweed due to time of year. It still was no problem driving in cart 20 minutes to other side where there was no seaweed"
"They have a group of iguanas that live on the beach front. Their staff is great and very friendly. The condos are nice but dated. The bar is poorly stocked for liquor variety. The restaurant food was good. They have two pools but nothing special that makes guests want to use and hang out. They are far from the action or things to do in the town. The roads to get there from the airport are HORRIBLE!"
"This resort was a dream come true and would have been a perfect 10/10 if not for one issue at checkout.
The location is a true tropical paradise. The remote setting makes it feel like you have the island to yourself, and even the 30-minute boat ride across the Caribbean adds to the sense of escape. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and accommodating throughout our stay.
The food was outstanding. This is not a buffet-style resort, but there were plenty of menu options, everything was made fresh, and the dishes highlighted local and seasonal ingredients. The property is spacious, so the pool, bar, and relaxation areas never felt crowded. We also enjoyed the variety of activities, including ceviche-making and mixology classes. Despite the remote location, we felt safe exploring nearby beaches and trails.
There was some seaweed, but that’s simply part of visiting this region at certain times of year, and the resort did its best to manage it.
Our only disappointment involved an excursion booked through the resort. We repeatedly confirmed that the quoted price included all taxes and marine park fees, but at checkout we were told those charges were extra, increasing the cost by about 25%. The issue wasn’t the additional expense—it was the lack of transparency.
Overall, the resort is beautiful, the staff are wonderful, and the experience is unforgettable. We would gladly return and still recommend it to others."
