Gabriela and Douglas are incredible hosts with unusual integrity and concern for our well being. We booked a studio cottage which was well furnished with comfortable furniture and great kitchen utensils. The cottage overlooks tidal lake which is home to a large variety of birds including herons and pelicans. A short walk takes you to tennis courts and the beautiful ocean beach. We enjoyed having the kitchen, and went out to dinner frequently, inspired by the good restaurants which our hosts recommended. In fact, we agreed with 99% of their recommendations for food and trips [and we’re spoiled].

Prior to booking I read the various reviews regarding how friendly and helpful Gabriela and Douglas were. I was also apprehensive regarding the self catering aspect - we have always travelled on a half board or all inclusive package.
However, on arrival, it was apparent that we had made a good choice. We were warmly welcomed, the cottage was very well appointed with everything that one could possibly need, and Gabriela drove us to the large local supermarket (everything available) once we had settled in.
The location of the cottage was superb, and the birdlife/animal life associated with the lagoon kept us interested throughout. It's a short walk to the nearest soft sand beach - 10 minutes. Here one can relax on the available sun loungers and have use of the hotel bar/restaurant.
Douglas gave us advice on the island and its history, and recommended certain places to visit. This we found very helpful.
In summary, a very enjoyable, relaxing and laid back 10 night stay.
