The owner was very hospitable. Although we went there on off season he was extremely mindful and delivered his best hospitality. The lunch was scrumptious and the owner hosted us with care

“Best staff :)”
Best staff, who went above and beyond to ensure us a good time. The breakfast was a lot and very good and they made sure to come up with new variations every day and cared for us being vegetarian as well. During breakfast, we could see monkeys in the surrounding area almost everyday. The pool was clean and the room spacious and equipped with everything we needed. Had a great relaxing week of vacation.

The manager is an extremely kind and smart guy. Since the hotel was not full, we received an upgrade. The room was very spacious, practical and clean. The hotel has a number of patio’s where it is very nice to sit. The pool is also a treat, even so close to the beach.

“Hidden Gem”
Chamod was an excellent host. We had a lovely time at Urchin where we felt very at home. The pool was very relaxing and the beach just a stones throw. Lots of amazing places to eat around, with the majority just under a 20 minute walk from the hotel. Chamod helped with everything we needed and more, the room was excellent, very clean with great AC. We will definitely stay here again!
