The views and location are great, and I have nothing to complain about. Vinícios, the owner, was there every day, just as he said. The internet wasn't working during our stay, but a huge thunderstorm had been going on after quite a while of rain, so we understood he couldn't get it running then. It's functioning now, and the improvements I've seen are impressive. I booked this and don't regret it. The place could be noisy because the owner is renovating, so it's not five stars in every way. If you're after a high-end place, this isn't it. But if you like mingling with locals, this is a good place to stay. Vinícios said COVID hit after he bought it, and the place was closed until it reopened at the end of the year. I'll send updated photos. Give him some encouragement, he's going to get the place into great shape.

The place smells awful. There's a badly patched hole right at the bedroom entrance that seems to lead to the sewer, and the smell fills the room. The stairs stink as well, and there's greasy grime downstairs with cockroaches crawling around. The pool was dirty too. It's a shame, since the place has a pretty view and is close to the beach by Uber, and the staff are polite. They really need to improve the cleaning, the bed linens, and provide comfortable pillows.
It's a lovely spot surrounded by incredible nature, but it's not being used well. The idea is great. I hope they fix the place and give it its own identity so it can become wonderful.
The view is stunning and makes the stay worthwhile. This was a great inn, well organized, with a tasty breakfast.
It's a beautiful venue for events and get-togethers, but the staff service was terrible, absolutely dreadful.
