Who are we?

We are friends (french, canadian and belgian), grouped around a project of discovery of new landscapes and cultures, with a priority for exchange and respect. Our hotel is included within a natural environment that we want to preserve: that's why we are adopting and communicating on the necessary behaviors and ecological uses ; for example the deliberate choice not to install air-conditioning and to help natural ventilation by the use of ventilators, the recycling of our waste and the permanent concern of energy saving

We wish to share our surge of enthusiasm and love for the southern Caribean by offering you the best ratio of quality to price, and by making you feel a highly valued guestOfelia and Alberto, our staff, always ready to make the best for you
