El alojamiento es hermoso, con una vista muy bella del mar y la montaña. Está pensado para que los huéspedes puedan compartir los espacios comunes, pero tengan su intimidad y privacidad tan necesarias . Las habitaciones son amplias, con un excelente ambientación, silenciosas e invitan al descanso. El área de los baños también es hermosa , llena de confort y buen gusto. Fue una hermosa experiencia para nuestro grupo y nos sentimos confortables en todo momento. Las piscinas también están pensadas para el confort y descanso, así como el maravilloso deck panorámico. La verdad una estadía en que nos sentimos muy a gusto.

Great location. Challenging to get to initially* but an absolute oasis on top of the hill. The set up with 4 suite style rooms was perfect for our family and would be ideal for a group or for as many as 4 couples with lots of privacy and such a lovely open floor plan common area. Just as pictured in the listing. Clean rooms, great A/C in the bedrooms. We did have an issue with the kitchen sink water supply malfunctioning - not something the host could have predicted, and given the inconvenience they were very responsive in trying to get it fixed and making accommodations. *Detailed instructions and photos were provided, but we arrived at night in the rain and definitely would not recommend that, especially as the hill you drive up is a dirt road that washes out when it rains. Probably only an issue in the wet or borderline wet/dry season (we came first week of Dec) but just an FYI since even our 4x4 car got stuck several times!

The house is really well located in a very peaceful environment away from town but close to everything. The house is beautiful and peaceful environment, we even saw monkeys. Amazing decor and designer home. We came with 3 small children and there is a a hole in the edge of the pools and a cliff, keep that in mind if you bring small children. There is only ac in the rooms which is much appreciated but it gets very hot in the common area. Fiona was really good at communicating with us but they offered cleaning and they never came until it was reported, which was quickly resolved. Overall a great stay.
