We enjoyed our one-week stay at Pastel House Casita. Ann is a wonderful host. The property has a great location, right at the doorstep of Melones Beach, where we would go for an early morning swim or to watch the beautiful sunsets. It’s also within walking distance of the town centre and just 7–10 minutes' drive from the wonderful Tamarind and Flamenco beaches. On Ann’s advice, we took a day boat trip with H2O Water Taxi to Culebrita Island. Overall, our week was amazing. We enjoyed beautiful beaches and snorkelling, and we saw incredibly colourful and large fish, stingrays, sea urchins as big as volleyballs, and even swam alongside turtles.
