"My friend and I stayed here for 9 days and it felt like home after a while. The staff was so friendly, greeting us coming and going like we were family! The free breakfasts were delicious and well-rounded -- everything you could possibly want. We had a wonderful dinner at the restaurant one night (there were plenty of options nearby as well, so we tried a new one every night) and the service and food was exceptional. The beach nearby was wonderful for walks (though it was too cold for us to swim in March). Driving around the island was very easy; our location allowed us to visit anywhere we wanted within 30-60 minute drive."

"It was great"

"Honestly a fabulous stay. Impeccable service, a fantastic room with a balcony. Quiet even though at the port. Breakfast was great. The beds were so comfy. A few minutes walk to restaurants and a perfect spot to be picked up for tours and taxis. A bottle of water for free in the room every night. Beach towels for free. Just a wonderful stay. I have absolutely nothing bad or sad to say. Thank you so much for a great stay. "

"This property was absolutely beautiful!! Being able to wander the gardens at night, restaurants on premise, beautiful art deco design, and wonderful staff, really made this place amazing. The breakfast in the morning was fantastic, and the choices were great!! We ate at the bar for two nights, and the food and staff were awesome-thanks Milton and Fred!!"

"An amazing resort! "

"Staff is the best part of this hotel, they are amazing, friendly, patient, and accomodating. View is stunning, restaurant food is fabulous. And the hot breakfast has enough options to fill you up before a good hike. 1 minor nuissance was our single beds instead of 1 queen. They were a little firm, but there are mattress covers in the closet to compensate for much of this. Would recommend, WILL return. "

"Great "

"This was a magical stay. What a surprise to learn that this stay gains access to a sixth generation adjacent garden (easily 3 acres in area) not available to the public and easily comparable in beauty to the Terra Nostra gardens. Imagine sitting under vast 200 year old trees listening to nothing but birdsong and the beautiful river running through the property whilst inhaling the subtle fragrance of azaleas and clean air. And having this to yourself! The houses themselves were brilliantly laid out and equipped with every convenience. It’s a family owned and operated property (the descendants of the original Doña Beatriz whose garden lies adjacent through a tunnel of towering bamboo). Everyone was exceptionally welcoming and accommodating. The breakfast baskets we ordered (delivered to the door) were heaped with so much delicious local bread, pastry, and fruit that we had an extra meal for later. Walk 5 minutes through a fairytale village to excellent and reasonably priced restaurants, the Calderas, Terra Nostra, and a hidden gem of a village park/playground if you decide to spoil your little ones (did I mention the hotel has 24 hour access to the beautiful pool, sun loungers, and wading pools?) Let the tots nap in the quiet house while you listen for them through the open windows and sip wine on your private patio. The two creative types I traveled with left inspired and recharged. I would go back in a heartbeat and stay for a week to enjoy the area!"

"This aparthotel was very clean and updated. Staff at front desk were very helpful if you needed something. Breakfast room was nice and food was excellent. We had a two bedroom ocean view which was quiet, clean and had a nice view of the harbor. The sofa bed was sized for small children so they needed to provide us with a rollaway bed for my adult son. Just something to keep in mind as it was not obvious when I booked. The beds in the bedrooms were American doubles, so could not be split into twin beds."
