I had an amazing experience at this boutique hotel with stunning ocean views and a relaxed atmosphere. The rooms were not only clean but also beautifully decorated, with great attention to detail. The owner was incredibly kind, going out of her way to provide excellent service. Breakfasts were delicious and served outside, adding to the overall charm of my stay. The only downside was that it wasn’t the easiest place to find at first, with some dirt roads to navigate, but once there, it felt like a hidden paradise.
