Why People Love It
The NENI restaurant's 'Balagan' style dining is a destination in itself
Incredible breakfast buffet is included in the room rate
Boho-chic design that feels curated, not corporate (peace signs, macramé, hanging chairs)
Quick Take: It's an Instagram paradise with a steep hike from the beach, so bring your walking shoes and leave the serious gym routine at home.
Reviewed by @alwaystraveling2.1: I stayed here for a week and didn't want to leave. The hammock on my balcony was my favorite morning spot, and the flower stairs are even brighter in person. It’s such a happy, stylish place to disconnect!
