    delicious breakfast
    breathtaking views
    steep pathway
    elevation strain

    The breakfast was fantastic, featuring fresh local ingredients that truly enhanced my mornings. The views from the Deluxe Bungalow with Sea View were nothing short of breathtaking, a feast for the eyes! Plus, the service from Alan and Alexia was top-notch. they went out of their way to ensure we had a great experience.

    But let’s keep it real—the path up to the resort is a steep workout! Taking an ATV made it a lot easier, but don’t be surprised if your calves feel it the next day.

    ocean views
    steep hill
    poor ac

    breathtaking views, private plunge pool, well-decorated property

    The steep hill to access the property is daunting!!! Air conditioning barely functions or isn't activated prior to arrival!!! Flooding or power outages with no support from staff can leave guests stranded without assistance!!! Odd odors in the bathroom may ruin your stay!!!

    Tranquil Getaway with Stunning Views

    I loved my stay here! The breathtaking views from my room made mornings unforgettable. The beach just across the road is perfect for sunset strolls. An ATV rental makes navigating the steep hill easier. Don't skip breakfast. it features fresh local ingredients that kickstart your day.

    breathtaking views
    cozy atmosphere

    stunning views and access to nearby beaches and eateries

    I loved my stay here because it was just a short walk, less than a 5-minute stroll, to Santa Teresa Beach, where I enjoyed breathtaking sunsets, and nearby I found Miss Eilleen Caribbean Food, which served delicious meals that truly enhanced my experience!

    breathtaking ocean views
    steep access path

    The location is conveniently close to everything in Santa Teresa, and the breathtaking ocean views from my room made my mornings incredibly special. I appreciated the peaceful surroundings and the attentive staff who really made my stay enjoyable.

    The path to the property is quite steep, which might not suit everyone.

    beach access
    delicious breakfast
    poor air conditioning

    We had a memorable time at the beach across the street from the resort, where the kids loved playing in the waves. The breakfast was truly delightful, featuring fresh fruit and delicious coffee that fueled our days.

    My kids wished the air conditioning worked better during our stay.

    breathtaking sunsets
    welcoming staff
    steep hill
    effortful access

    Staying at Akwa Ocean View was a delightful experience. The sunsets were breathtaking and the outdoor shower added a unique touch to our stay. Although the hill to the property required some effort, the tranquil surroundings made it worthwhile. The staff, particularly Alexia, were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our visit.

    spacious room
    ocean views
    private terrace
    dirty stairs
    run down property

    I stayed in the Double Room for 7 nights. The room was spacious and had stunning views of the ocean and jungle. I loved the private terrace with comfy lounge cushions—it was a perfect spot to relax. The only downside was the access. the stairs getting to the room were a bit dirty and everything felt run down after the rain. Still, the atmosphere and the attentive staff made up for it.

    cozy terrace

    Recommend it for couples seeking serene views

    We loved our garden view room with a private terrace that had these cozy lounge cushions,, perfect for relaxing and soaking up the sounds of nature and waves. The breakfast was delicious and included fresh selections,. The staff was super friendly, always checking in on us to.

    It wasn’t exactly budget-friendly,, but honestly,, the experience was worth it.
