If you are expecting the wind, then it’s a great resort! I should have realized that it would’ve windy with all the windsurfing in the area. Once we got used to that, we did really enjoy the place. Quite quiet. Our favorite parts of the area were all the beaches in the other side of the peninsula and some of the fantastic dining. Lapa Lapa had a great atmosphere, fantastic food, and some nice beach chairs. ‘The naked Indian restaurant just next to the resort had unbelievable food.

Please know that the beach Nandel faces is a kite surfing training area for some of the world elites. It is windy, most of the time. This keeps it cool and nice to sit at the beach and at the pool, no bugs. Tie your hat on... it is very windy.

Quiet resort on the bay. Beautiful nearby beach (bahia rajada). Very good food. Pleasant waiters. A la carte breakfast is nice but repetitive and buffet breakfast on weekend is adequate. Rooms: clean but somber. Bed and AC are good. Limited hot water. The highlight here is the kite surfing and no crowds.

This is the second time we’ve stayed at this lovely hotel. It is extremely family friendly. The levels in the pool are great for playing games: the swim bar is fun: the excellent appetizer platter was enough to feed a huge group and was tasty. The rooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. We will be back.

This was a great resort for the price. Felipe at breakfast was the best, along with everyone else. The breakfast was by far our favorite meal of the day!! Definitely try out the Naked Indian nextdoor. It was the best dinner we had in this part of town. The hotel's beach is made for kite surfing but we enjoyed walking down towards the groves and seeing all the different birds. Our favorite beach was Playa Rajadita and El Jobo. None of the beaches are very busy except for the weekends when the locals enjoy them. The water was a bit chilly but snorkeling everywhere was a delight! Lots to see. The rooms are very large but I wish they had any kind of fridge.... You can get ice for your water at breakfast. The pool was nice, also a bit chilly! I would definitely recommend this hotel and would go again! Look for the monkeys! They are in the trees on the dirt road to the hotel and all over if you look for them!
