Blissful Bluff Beach Retreat

This place has so much to offer and every experience they did offer was unique and extraordinary in it's own way. Horseback rides to La Piscina- divine. Riding the beach cruisers provided and exploring the various nearby beaches bordering the jungle- epic. All the nearby bars/restaurants - surprisingly sublime. A massage by Laura in the gorgeous massage palapa while the rain falls on the thatch roof - blissful. Touring the property and witnessing the beauty of the countryside - gorgeous. Karen and Steve really are super cool people and the absolute best hardworking hosts. You will not regret staying at this little piece of paradise where the ocean lulls you to sleep and the noisy jungle gently nudges you awake for another day of adventure!

Beautiful setting and wonderful hosts

This property was exactly as advertised. The beach is probably understated as it is one of the most beautiful beaches I have seen to date. The hosts were extremely responsive, informative, and willing to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. I would recommend this property to anyone interested in a unique, remote experience.
