    Absolutely loved the laid back vibe of this place.I was offered an upgrade and had the room right by the beach. The tasteful interior of the rooms attracted me to this hotel initially. This is the kind of place you can walk barefoot in all day....

    We loved staying in the Lagoon room on the beach. Perfect location and laid back atmosphere. The room was clean and functional, and the service at the beach bar and banana restaurant were both great. Loved exploring the beach at low tide.
