The staff was amazing at this property - always attentive and able to answer questions and provide what we needed. The rooms and property were very clean and peaceful. Everything is exactly as pictured in the photos. We enjoyed a ceviche class one night and they set up a bonfire for us on the beach another night - both excellent and well thought-out. The staff in the dining room and bar are so friendly and helpful and always available! The breakfast was excellent, we loved the juices and bread and multiple options. My kids loved the duck rice! The only thing to note is that we rented a car and arrived very late at night, and the turn off the main road to the hotel is through a gate down a very dark, dirt road. It would’ve been nice to know that if you’re arriving at night! The surrounding towns are very small, but we found good food options nearby. We loved our quiet stay at Norte!
