Not many choices in the area, there is a Super Compro grocery store directly next door. Seafood Restaurant on the oposite side and this place is clean safe and quiet. Staff very pleasant.

Manuel and his family run a lovely homey lodge, and they were super friendly and accommodating. The room was comfortable, immaculate and spacious and the air conditioning and room darkening shades were a pleasant surprise —we slept so well! This is a very unique and personal quality accommodation. I would definitely go back. The lodge has a lot of style and you will feel well cared for.

The room was clean and comfortable, it had all the items we needed. The location was great to explore various beaches around the area (we visited 8 or 9 but there are over 40!). Food was really good and service was incredible. Don Manuel and his family are great hosts.
