“This adults-only boutique property cultivates a serene beachfront atmosphere, ideal for couples seeking a romantic escape. The open-air seaside terrace and access to unique experiences like turtle nesting observation set it apart, and I think this emphasis on local culture certainly elevates it above typical resorts. In my opinion, it's a well-appointed, intimate destination that prioritizes relaxation and connection.”

I loved the 24 hr swimming, since the pools don't close. There are two pools, and also easy access to the beach.
