Experiencia Maravillosa

"Increíble resort con un servicio de primera y comida deliciosa. Las vistas son preciosas (incluso vimos algunos delfines y ballenas). Es muy tranquilo y sereno, que es exactamente lo que estábamos buscando. Sin duda volveremos".

Gran regreso

"Hace ocho años nos alojamos aquí y nos encantó. Volvimos y, aunque el nombre había cambiado, el mismo compromiso con el servicio a los huéspedes y la comodidad era de primera clase. Citando a mi otra mitad: "Aunque nos gusta hacer algo nuevo todo el tiempo, podríamos volver aquí una vez al año".

"The resort was super quiet, clean and felt very refined. The views from the rooms are second to none. The pool on the balcony gave my wife and I the opportunity to retreat to our room and still enjoy the sunset over the water with a wine in hand. Plus, the service and hospitality from all the staff was fantastic! We felt very safe and secure".
