It's a steep climb up to the top of the hill where the resort is located, but there's shuttle service to the restaurants, beaches, and shops at the bottom of the hill. Apartments are spacious and modern, with full kitchens and private terraces and pools with incredible views over the gulf. There's a restaurant and bar on-site, as well as a small fitness center and spa, but that's it for public spaces.

Scene
Jungle resort designed for travelers looking to get away from everything
This resort is designed for travelers who want to get away from it all. Its hilltop location is remote, and there's not much public space here either. Most guests stick to their apartments, since they provide everything needed for a self-catered vacation, including a kitchen and private pool and terrace with incredible sea views. The building is situated on the hill so that nothing blocks the view from each apartment. The open-air lobby has a few chairs, but it's not really a place to hang out. Guests do visit the restaurant and bar, which also provide beautiful views, as does the communal pool. Expect an airy, rustic-chic style throughout the hotel, with a contemporary edge -- there's lots of white and wood to create a clean aesthetic. This resort attracts mostly couples seeking privacy, as well as families who don't need a lot of activities and attractions.
