The rooms are really nice and spacious and the kitchen was well equipped! Everything is decorated so beautifully. There’s security at night which was nice! It’s a bit far from the main area but we rented ATVs and it was honestly better because it was a lot quieter. It’s really close to the beach and a really trendy beach restaurant/bar! Would recommend and would stay here again! ##### Taylor F.

Easy walk to surf breaks, restaurants. The property was very private, and overall security was great. Enjoyed neighborhood howler monkeys. ##### fred b. Stayed 12 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maureen W. Mar 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Blue Surf Sanctuary We enjoyed the beautiful Sanctuary and proximity to the beach...2 minute walk. If you are driving, then you should have a car with high clearance as the street parking is your only choice and the small road is filled with deep gulleys. The area is delightful as far as the beach but there is so much construction in the town and the single road so you and your car gets covered in dust. Throughout our stay, we had a problem with a skunk which had sprayed and the smell lingered and was especially strong in our room when the AC came on. Rafa, our manager was incredibly helpful with ideas about places to visit and always responded to our questions immediately. He is a wonderful person and we thank him for his kindness. We were also very pleased with the cleaning and caretaking staff. The Sanctuary has a lovely vibe about it as four rooms share a pool and kitchen area. It is easy to meet others and to cook meals in the well stocked and very clean outdoor kitchen. There are 2 large refrigerators ##### Maureen W.
