    “The beautiful modern loft, privacy, peace and quiet. Sleeping with the windows open and hearing the ocean waves at night. Adults only, beautiful ocean pool. The most comfortable bed and shower. We really loved all the tea, coffee, fruits and champagne that was gifted. The kitchen was fully equipped with great equipment to cook any meal with. The tapas bar had really nice atmosphere for a romantic dinner with ocean view, drinks and meeting other tourists. Staff are so friendly and helpful. We would love to stay here again. Great location to cafe, petrol station, supermarket and burger joint.”

  • Great stay. We had a wonderful time!

    “Clean, spacious, very comfortable and accommodating. An escape with the personal touch of able to cook and store food in a big fridge for a lengthy stay. Got to have Champagne on the house which never happens in Raro..., very simple, clean and a cosy beachy themed hideaway”

    “The property is located in a great spot. It is quiet because it’s away from the busy areas. It is close to a conscience store and the most populate burger place on the island. It’s away from the busy areas of the island but still close enough to everything you need. The staff were amazing, so accomodating. The room was perfect. It has everything you need. The food at the tapas bar was excellent and celiac safe.”
