    The hotel was in a beautiful garden setting and very private. Lucretia and Sergio were so lovely and really looked after us and our host Fernando was very helpful. We loved our stay at Playa Scondida!

    The hotel is nice, Caribbean style rooms, nice little pool,a small pier where you can sunbathe and a little piece of beach. The hotel is incredible peaceful as it only accommodate a small number of guests and therefore the attention of the staff...
