Really beautiful secluded spot on the beach with a lovely staff, not to mention cute beach puppies! The beach was the best for swimming we encountered on our road trip, and the bird watching tower looking into the nature reserve was really cool. The bungalow with an outdoor shower was lovely. We were here for only one night, but wish we had been able to stay longer, and hope to be back soon! Quick note about google maps is that it doesn't think you can drive all the way there, but the road does continue and you can drive right to the front of the property.

Expedition Robinson experience

Excellent! it felt like our own private island, once in a life time experience , if you’re thinking about going dure there COVID don’t hesitate as you’ll most likely be the only guest there. Sleeping with waves in the background , waking up with tropical birds chirping, watching the sun set and the sky turn pink... combined with 3 meals a day from an amazing chef cooking with so much love and joy. be aware that during the rainy period you need to get there by boat which also adds to the whole “remote” experience” staff is great and very helpful!
