We were welcomed by a huge black gate with gold trimmings and a brick façade. From the outside, it looked like a path leading to a residential mansion: a short driveway with tropical plants and trees abound.
I got out of the car feeling nauseous, but it was good that the air was a bit chilly despite being in a tropical country. I was refreshed when we were greeted with drinks and hot towels, and I got a better look of the resort.
There were these coconut trees sprouting all over this vast wading pool – a very pretty sight. But what I loved most about the place was the casitas sprawled in one area, with flowers like forget-me-not’s and bird’s of paradise, and robust trees surrounding them. The ocean was right in the front of the main restaurant, but the casita in which I
was staying at was beside a lake lined with mangroves along the shore. It had an off-beaten pathway with some driftwood fences along the perimeter, and paired trees with white hammocks. I had a wonderful time walking and lounging in this area. The geese that were playing in the water and the birds that were singing in the trees made me fall asleep in one of the hammocks.
