The enduring
Αρχάριος παραθεριστής
The beach has some outstanding qualities, including its tranquil and pristine natural surroundings, which are complemented by a traditional decor that blends well with the environment. It is a very small beach, often with only a few people, allowing for a peaceful and secluded experience. The beach's remote location attracts interesting guests from around the world who tend to stay for a while. The staff is laid-back and friendly, and they offer a fantastic local boat tour with a knowledgeable guide who provides fascinating information about the flora and fauna. The menu offers a variety of high-quality dishes, with something different every day, and the staff is willing to accommodate specific requests based on the available ingredients. Despite the absence of air conditioning, the constant breeze, especially in the oceanfront bungalow where we stayed, made it comfortable, even for someone like me who struggles to sleep in the heat. However, it is worth noting that the wind might be weaker in the buildings further back. There are a couple of things to be cautious about: having some command of Spanish is beneficial for more than basic interactions, and the journey to and from the beach, whether by boat or car, can be long and rough. However, this can be seen as a positive aspect as it filters out guests seeking convenience and quick access. It is important to keep in mind that this beach is essentially a wilderness hostel, so the amenities and other details are limited but they make the best of what is available. Despite this, the location itself is simply breathtaking, offering a much more relaxing and unspoiled natural environment compared to anywhere in the Riviera Maya north of the Biosphere boundary.

The beach is absolutely stunning and the rooms are fantastic.
We gave it 3 stars because the price is quite high, and we recommend booking through a platform instead of directly with the property (we realized this would have saved us a lot of money).
As for the continental breakfast (€40 for 2 people) and dinner, we suggest looking for other options as they are overpriced and not of great quality.
The village of Punta Allan (a 30-minute drive away) offers much better dining choices.
It seems like this hotel is more focused on making a quick profit and has forgotten the art of hospitality. Considering the price, we expected a bit more. We were unable to check in until 6pm and were promptly pushed out at 12, the designated checkout time. We were even directed to the reception to settle our food bill, as they assumed we wouldn't be ordering anything else. We paid $250 for a night excluding breakfast.
