Manuel and his family run a lovely homey lodge, and they were super friendly and accommodating. The room was comfortable, immaculate and spacious and the air conditioning and room darkening shades were a pleasant surprise —we slept so well! This is a very unique and personal quality accommodation. I would definitely go back. The lodge has a lot of style and you will feel well cared for.

Wonderful owner and his family cared for us during our stay in this wonderful hand crafted place with beautiful woodwork and friendly caring staff. Room was nice, clean and beds were comfortable. Service and food were excellent and the staff were very helpful with ideas about fun things to do in the area. Definitely want to come back soon and spend more time!

Lovely lodge off the beaten path. Owners accommodating and very friendly. Located near several beaches and nature reserves. Breakfast included was mediocre.

This is very friendly family run hotel. The lodge may be a little old, but it has charm and is kept very clean. The hosts are welcoming and helpful. Highly recommended.
