“The next morning, about 15 miles down the coast, I find my Shangri-La, the place I could recommend without reservation or caveat. I almost miss it as I vacillate about whether to follow a dirt road because of a sign that simply states Playa Las Tortugas.” The Washington Post
Experience indescribable sunsets while sipping something fruity and tropical from a coconut, grilling on the BBQ, or enjoying a glass of wine by the pool. Watch a formation of pelicans fly just over the wave tops, or see whales breach and dolphins play practically in your vast front yard.

Have a relaxing and intense massage under the palapa by our talented massage therapist. Take in the aroma of blooming plumeria and just....relax.
