This eco resort is a true gem nestled in a serene mangrove setting, offering a splendid uniqueness that I haven't found anywhere else. I loved the opportunity to connect with nature and interact with friendly staff who truly enhance the experience. The accommodations provide stunning views, although the lack of air conditioning is something to consider for comfort. Dining options were delicious and very fresh, but I would have appreciated more variety. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that felt like a real getaway into paradise.

This hidden gem on a secluded island truly feels like a slice of paradise. The stunning views and tranquil atmosphere made my stay unforgettable. I was particularly impressed by the variety of activities available, like swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking. While the overall experience was fantastic, I did wish that the internet service was more reliable. The price felt fair for the incredible memories made here.

My stay at the hotel was an unforgettable experience enhanced by the rustic beauty of the island, excellent food, and the warm hospitality of the staff. The tranquility of the surroundings made for a perfect escape, and I loved interacting with the monkeys, which added a unique charm. However, if you prefer luxury accommodations, keep in mind that the rooms are quite simple.

My stay on Urraca Island was nothing short of amazing! The surrounding beauty of the mangroves created such a tranquil atmosphere, and Francine's unique vision for the property truly brought the experience to life. The meals were divine, and having the opportunity to spend time with the playful monkeys was a highlight. The only downside was that the rooms lacked air conditioning, which took a moment to adjust to, but overall, the experience was totally worth it.
