Annemette 🇳🇱 ★★★★★

Loved our stay here! The host was very reachable and helpful! The place is so beautiful and you get the entire beach and place for yourself! We would definitely recommend this place!!!

Hannah 🇩🇪 ★★★★★

Really nice detached bungalow. You are completely on your own, but you have to be aware in advance that you should bring food etc. The path now passes behind the house, so you have undisturbed sea access. Lucy also offers various tours and is always easily accessible. Would come back anytime!

Marlies 🇳🇱 ★★★★★

The bungalow was extremely comfortable, exactly as described. Lucy was quick to respond to any inquiries. The view was wonderful, to wake up each morning and look out to water was great! So peaceful.

Oscar 🇵🇪★★★★★

Jay 🇨🇦★★★★★

What a lovely escape. Its was what we both needed. James was very accommodating. The area was quiet and had a small kitchen to cook. Its right on he water the waves put you to sleep. If you really feel like an adventure take the kayaks to Zapatilos islands only 5 K away! if you are a good paddle it takes on hour. I will come back on my next visit.

The beach,ocean and cottage was beautiful.

Ferychar 🇪🇸 ★★★★★

Peace and beauty in a completely private setting. The setting is spectacular. Although it is not, it gives the feeling of being isolated in the middle of a beach for yourself. The cabin is very nice and comfortable, located to enjoy the sea and the beach in a private way. It is very well designed, keeping details that are appreciated.

Fabian 🇺🇸 ★★★★★

Tropical private paradise. Beautiful rustic bungalow right on aqua waters. We came on off season and felt like we had the island to ourselves. There are kayaks to use as well. If you want more restaurants and life come in the main dry season. There is coral snorkeling nearby and an amazing indigenous guide and chef named Calypso who showed us all the local animals, sloths, monkeys, frogs, caiman and plant medicines. James the host answered any questions or needs we had. Be sure to ask him a lot of questions because we wish we brought more water and food on the off season. But he’s very responsive and helped us with our needs. Be mindful this is a rustic jungle experience with lots of jungle critters, birds crabs, doggies around. Bring som bug spray and enjoy this adventurous experience.

We had the absolute best time staying at this beach cabana. The bed was super cozy, the outdoor kitchen was awesome (make sure to bring all the food/beverages you need), the beach has the most beautiful clear water and loads of star fish and other fish and we were the ONLY people there and had the entire beach to ourselves, the locals were kind when passing and the host was extremely friendly and accommodating and had quick response to questions. We did a water taxi out there and had a pick up and it was 160$ there and back. We wish we would have brought snorkel gear with us other than that we enjoyed it. Love that it’s run on solar and rain water! Super cool. Thanks again! Don’t forget your bug spray too it was crucial we did have some with us!

Fernanda 🇨🇱 ★★★★★

A place to really disconnect. There are many activities to do with the native people of the island. A unique experience and place. The hospitality of the local people is invaluable.

Anahi 🇦🇷 ★★★★★

If you are looking for a real experience of paradisiacal beaches and cabin, this is the place. It has everything you need and even Wifi but the experience is to live the simplicity of the place. I loved it!

Jan 🇩🇪 ★★★★★

A great place to stay with an extremely good location. The host helps you with all problems and picks you up by paid boat. We brought food for 4 days, but you can also find restaurants for breakfast and dinner nearby. We can also highly recommend a hike to locals. You shouldn't expect hotel standard, it's a better quality beach house with good facilities.

Carolina 🇪🇸 ★★★★★

A little piece of paradise. The views and surroundings are unequalled. The sounds of the sea and birds wrap you up from the moment you arrive until you leave. It's like being in paradise. The house is built completely out of wood and with an impressive palm roof. It has a very special charm. The shower is amazing, a whole experience, and hot water comes in, which is not always the case on the islands. They have plenty of repellent and sunscreen, two of the must's on the islands. The bed is very comfortable, and has the perfect mosquito net to sleep without bugs. There is a nearby hotel/restaurant which is also worth a visit and from where you can use double kayaks to take a walk around the mangrove which is equally wonderful. The owner treated us exceptionally, helping us at all times, as well as his assistant, Hilario, who welcomed us on arrival and departure with great kindness. Although it is isolated, it is known that they can be counted on at all times.

Sharmaine 🇺🇸 ★★★★★

Lucy's place was relaxing and secluded. It had all the basics you need and she and James were helpful in getting us transportation to and from town.

Jill 🇬🇧 ★★★★★

Loved staying in our little bit of paradise overlooking the sea. Thoroughly recommended! You can either self cater and bring all your food with you or eat along the beach at a resort restaurant. Enjoyed daily beach walks, treks in and across jungle, a trip with James to the Zapatilhas, e-bike ride on Las Bocas…so many memories!
