Reviewed Jan 29, 2026Thank you so much for having us!! We really appreciated our stay. The whole place is very clean and has a nice atmosphere, with a very nice pool area 😉 and wonderful hosts. The price is totally reasonable for what you get. It’s good to have a car, but honestly, even if you stay elsewhere you’ll need one if you want to see the island and get groceries. The place has been ideal for us since it’s kind of in the middle of the island. I would love to come back one day!!

Hay que tener en cuenta que es necesario tener un vehículo, porque es un poco alejado, pero eso lo hace mucho más tranquilo

Reviewed Dec 24, 2025This was a family owned business and the hospitality was beyond exceptional. offered simple, seamless car rental right at the property. The location was in a very quiet, low key neighborhood.
The bathroom was small in my unit. could've used a towel and toilet rack. while the quiet location was peaceful, there were not any restaurants in walking distance

Reviewed Nov 28, 2025Excelente atención de las personas propietarias, te guían, responden dudas, el sitio es perfecto con su piscina, la habitación que nos asignaron excelente, todo limpio, se puede cocinar si se desea, aunque no hay ventas en el lugar, lleven lo que necesiten, cerca hay supermercados, lo mejor es usar el servicio de alquiler de vehículo que se compensa con el sitio económico Pero está en el centro de la isla relativamente lejos de las playas, Pero en minutos en carro se llega, pagar taxi es costoso. Puedes ir a todas las playas desde allí, ir a las rumbas, de compras, recorrer la isla en tu vehículo, y al regresar al hotel, calma, silencio, tranquilidad .. valoramos eso.
En lo personal con mi esposa estamos de acuerdo en que es una excelente eleccion... pero si no alquilas un vehículo, está lejos de todo.

Reviewed Sep 18, 2025It was all very good. The host's attention and care and the sympathy of the fantastic employees. Congratulations to all! As soon as we can come back.
Pra mim foi tudo ótimo, mas pode haver pessoas que achem meio longe do centro e das praias mais acessíveis.

Reviewed Apr 11, 2025Very clean and spacious apartment with lovely pool but it could very easily be much nicer for the price. Towels were stained, we swapped them over and 1 was still stained. With the oven, you’re meant to put a flame inside it, not only is this not safe, no instructions were provided. We turned it on for no more than 30 seconds and it smelt like rotten egg. But even if we did end up using it, there were no trays. And air con was very noisy. We got asked to arrive before a certain time which we did and then had to wait for 15 minutes to be let in. Our main problem was that on our last 2 nights the electricity kept going out. Someone came in to “fix” it but all he did was turn the switches down, which we had done already. He assumed the power was going out by a certain switch. That night it then went out again so we had to move sockets around so that our fridge stayed on. We asked for some money back and haven’t heard anything back except for insinuating that we were lying about it. We clearly were just unlucky as it’s a very well kept place but would have expected some compensation as with the added taxes it’s pricey.

Reviewed Feb 12, 2025It's a fairly new facility. Everything is well kept and neat. It is very spacious, has a high level of cleanness and a welcoming host who allows some flexibility with check-in and check-out time. The wifi works exceptionally well. It is altogether a very good value for money.
It worked perfectly well for me as I was looking for a location away from the more touristy area. It is nevertheless worth noting that a car is needed for easy access to the location.
