Restaurant is top notch, one of the best on the island. Peaceful, close enough to town for enough to be out of the hustle.

The resort was so beautiful and well kept. We loved the small size of the property and the chef was truly world class. There is a dive shop on the pier that was so helpful and well kept chartered a day snorkeling trip that was so memorable. You truly can’t go wrong staying here.

The staff was amazing!! Above and beyond!! The rooms need an overhaul, new roofs and new ac units, ac never got cold. Need more amenities like better cornhole bags and boards, maybe other stuff to do while on the resort.

Our room was lovely and clean. We enjoyed our salt scrub and massage on the beach while listening to the waves and the breeze in the Palm Trees. Staff were friendly and helpful. Excellent food at the on site restaurant. Note of concern was the pool looked a little cloudy. We did appreciate all the work that was being done to clear the beach of the sea grass.

We enjoyed our stay so much. We wanted a place to relax and that is exactly what we did. We watched the sunrise from the pier every morning and loved lounging by the pool. We enjoyed the bar and restaurant. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. We hope to visit again soon!

Wonderful breakfast, lunch and pasta dinner. It is remote from the hustle and bustle but the view is great. The rooms are comfy. The pool is wonderful. The cozy porch’s of the cabana are great for reading a book.

8/10 Very good

The property is well maintained and has a welcoming atmosphere, although some areas would benefit from renovation and modernization. Unfortunately, the beach is not easily accessible because of the amount of sargassum. The staff is exceptionally courteous, friendly, and always willing to help. The restaurant and bar provide a pleasant dining experience and excellent drinks in an outside setting. The continental breakfast needs improvement.

Great place- loved it- 45 mins from town in a very bumpy road. Service was spectacular so we would go back

Everything what we wanted to do, we did and enjoyed. Bikes were available at no cost, we enjoyed to be able to bike to other resorts. Every day you had the choice for dinner outside or inside. The location is great, away from the busy San Pedro town, Golf Cart City. Nothing the people in the resort, do all to make your stay perfect.
Also beautiful at night.
Continental Breakfast 👍
Yes lots of biirds

To help tell was very nice. Rooms were clean. Very quiet and secluded. This hotel is farther from the city so expect to run a golf cart with staying in peace.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

This resort was absolutely beautiful, the staff made it even better. Rosita was our favorite!! So welcoming and fun. Staff were always cleaning and always very friendly. Sunrise steps outside your door on the beach or pier was my favorite part!! Breakfast and coffee in the morning was wonderful. Have plenty of wonderful things to say about this place. It was nice that it was away from the noise of the city but it was a very bumpy long ride to and from, you definitely need a golf cart to get around. 20 minutes from secret beach was a plus since there’s a lot of sargasm on this side of the island. Only thing I would suggest would be to add some hooks in the rooms to hang things to dry.
