This ‘hideaway’ is so magical. From being greeted with cold moist towels, to the incredible rooms backing onto the lagoon, the wildlife, birds singing, and the incredible pool and dining area, you won’t find a more peaceful and beautiful place. Highly recommend!

We were greeted with cold towels while the concierge went through everything we needed to know. The estate was spectacular and the vibe was perfectly chill. Beautiful long sandy beach filled with shells, a serene pool Surrounded by day beds, hammocks and loungers, and absolutely lovely hostesses working. Our room overlooked the “swamp” area also we spent a bit of time looking to see if we could see Alligators - no luck for us this time. The open shower was totally stunning! Mini-fridge was well stocked and French press for morning coffee!! We had to leave prior to breakfast however we weee able to purchase overnight oats to take. We had a delicious dinner at the restaurant, along with some happy hour cocktails. Everything about this place is spot on.

This resort was incredible! My partner and I stayed for two nights and wished we stayed longer! The rooms were amazing (we had a fully covered/closed in deck with a hammock) and a cool outdoor shower. The pool was great and the restaurant had really delicious food. Really beautiful place to stay, absolutely recommend!
