My girlfriend and I had an excellent stay here. The rooms were very comfortable, and next to the lagoon. Views from the room and the property are amazing. The lagoon is a treasure, and didn't disappoint. The staff went out of their way to make sure our stay was amazing, and that we had everything we needed.

We loved our stay at BoaBoa. Our hut named "Colibri" was private and spacious with all the necessary amenities. We really appreciated the staff, who were helpful and proactive even prior to our visit. While on site, they communicated daily via WhatsApp to inquire about our needs and comfort. The property is on the outskirts of town and is best accessed with a vehicle and you can hear the highway from the property. We enjoyed being next to the lagoon: sunrises, swimming, and kayaking. We would definitely stay again!
