Incredibly tranquil. Each bungalow has its own privacy. Coati, raccoons and birds furtle around unbothered by the guests (French, Canadian, UK). I had a swim, looked up and say a tiger heron standing at the end of the pool as if it were analysing my technique. Extraordinary. The staff could not be more helpful nor friendly. It’s super peaceful and a short drive (you ideally need a car) away from Samara. Breakfasts superb and a nice bar for a drink by the pool. There is a superb secret beach accessible by foot 15 minutes walk away through the forest. Sublime. Visit now. The area has the feeling it’s about to explode and embrace a lot of development. I really hope it can hold the tide back. It’s a special special place.

We loved the stay here! The hosts were so nice & helped us with lots of recommendations! We had bad luck with the weather but it was so nice because we could stay in the whirlpool many hours :) really clean and big room. You need the car though, if you want to go to Samara, but its only 4 minutes or something so totally ok. Also safe, because the main entrance was locked. Would definitely stay here again.

Such a beautiful view, excellent location and fantastic staff. Originally we only planned on staying for 3 nights, but ended up staying 7 nights. The pool area is superb, there are bikes and surfboards that you can use for free. Danny was such a brilliant host. He responded immediately to requests. At the bottom of the street there is a bakery called Roots. They serve the best breakfast. Also, don’t forget to feed the cat is there. She is so sweet and seems to be a thing that travellers buy cat food from the supermarket and keep her water and feed bowls (next to the washing machine) topped up. ❤️

The location is great, very close to restaurants and the beach but also quiet. It's nice to have a living room + kitchen and balconies. Beds were comfortable + AC in the bedrooms is enjoyable. There is everything in the flat if you need to cook.
