"We loved this hotel. It is so cute, lush, and tropical. The rooms are simple but beautifully designed. The daily breakfast was amazing—fresh bread and homemade jams, fresh fruit juice made to order. The menu is simple but everything is so good. You have to try the coconut shrimp tacos and the parmesan fries. It’s just a two-minute walk to Zicatela Beach. The staff were exceptional.
On our last day, we had called a taxi. The car that arrived was from the right company, but it wasn’t the driver we had booked. When we asked him if he was the driver we had called, he said yes—but he actually wasn’t. I suspect he realized we were expecting someone else and was just trying to get a fare.
The front desk concierge, a lovely girl, quickly noticed the mix-up. She first asked the driver if he could take someone to the beach, then checked with us about whether we had called a cab, and finally said, “I don’t think this is your driver.” Thanks to her intervention, other guests ended up taking that cab, and a few minutes later, the correct driver arrived. We were very grateful for her attentiveness—it made our departure smooth and stress-free. I would definitely feel safe solo at this hotel.
We highly recommend this place and would stay again, if nothing more than just for the lovely staff. Unfortunately, we don’t remember everyone’s names, but big shout-outs to Sebastian, who had the best energy, to Mar, who cooked lovely food for us every day and of course the lovely concierge!
