Perfect place for people looking for an hotel to relax and escape the daily stress. It is located in a quite area right next to the sea, where you can emerce yourself in the lovely nature. Our room and the outdoor space was wonderful, everything is very new, modern and stylish. I loved the fresh fried fish (I had red snapper) and the freshly made passion fruit juice from their restaurant, they were both delicious. The owner and the employees are super friendly, they even drove us to Santa Catalina by car for our diving tour (which you should do if you like diving because Isla Coiba has beautiful underwater spots with sharks, we even saw dolphins and a whale). If you like riding you could also do horseback riding with their own horses at the beach!

I stayed in one of the standard rooms — it was small but cozy and very clean. Being right on Playa Estero was a highlight, and I loved rinsing off in the beach shower and heading straight to the pool. Great location for a beach getaway.

We loved the remote location in paradise. Our hosts made us feel at home. Delicious meals and a selection of beverages. Booking was easy and all of our questions were answered. Day trips can be arranged and are well worth it. Staff are kind and polite. There was no shortage of things to do and explore.

    Location was amazing being right on the beach. Main area had lots of sitting areas to relax and find shade. Atmosphere and decor was relaxing and inviting. Great having a pool when you didn’t feel like going in the ocean. Beach was beautiful and long enough for a good walk.

    The location is to die for. Right on the beach, you can hear the waves crashing and the breeze blowing as you're falling asleep. It was kind of funny because you have to cross a little "river" or inlet on foot to get there, and depending on the tide it can be a bit of water to wade through (roller bags not recommended!) but it just added to the sense of adventure and seclusion. It was very easy to book a day trip to Coiba Island via reception, as well as sign up for surf lessons.
