“What a vibe! Eating fruit and coconuts with the jungle trees and view of the waves, unmatched. The open kitchen with the sliding windows is amazing when it rains.”

“Had a great stay here. The location is ideal, just up the street from the center of town. You can walk in about 10 minutes, but the climb is steep.”
