We stayed at Villa Maris Eco village for a week and were blown away by the incredible hospitality of the entire staff. They were extremely friendly, always available, and went out of their way to be helpful. The apartment with an ocean view was spacious, clean, and equipped with everything necessary for a truly relaxing vacation. It's worth mentioning that this is an Ecolodge, meaning that all of the electricity is generated by solar panels, wind turbines, and a backup generator. On some days, we decided to have lunch at the lodge and were delighted by the freshly cooked and delicious dishes. Additionally, they offer electric scooters for rent, and if you're interested in renting a car, the reception will gladly arrange for it to be delivered to the lodge. They also provide airport/harbour pick up upon request. Furthermore, the lodge is conveniently located just a 10-minute drive away from Porto Ingles. We highly recommend this place!
