Host Desiree and her staff were very friendly and made us feel at home. Traveling with a baby, this is one of the best places to enjoy nature from your balcony while your little one splashes in the pool.

We had the suite and were able to watch whales in the bay directly from the balcony. That was simply brilliant. The suite was huge and beautifully furnished. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast buffet was perfect.
