Bella Mar

What a gem! The shared kitchen between the 6 suites was great. We loved the pool, the sound of the ocean and watching the frigatbirds and pelicans. The room had a very comfortable bed, great AC, wifi and a cool shell shower. No TV, and we did not need it as we had ocean views. Gabriela welcomed us and was an excellent host. Thank you for thw great 6 days!

This property is very private and quiet, the staff keeps it very clean. Our deluxe room had a very comfortable bed, and the A/C worked great. Here's what they don't tell you; Although this is an Ocean front property, there isn't easy access to the beach. There isn't TV available On the Island you can't flush toilet paper There are two very friendly dogs that have the run of the property, and at night they tend to bark a lot, all night. There isn't any room cleaning, change of linens, or towels. They don't furnish a real beach towel. No Fridge in the room, communal kitchen, we needed to go downstairs every time we wanted something from the fridge. The patio door to our balcony was very difficult to open, my wife wasn't able to open it on her own. I mentioned it to lady who manages the place, and offered to fix it if she could give me some WD-40, she just smiled and never did anything. Also if you are driving a golf cart there are only 2 spots for golf carts, and if they're taken you need to park across the street, no one ever told us that, we had to figure that out on our own. I don't think we will stay there in the future.

One of the downsides of this property is they do NOT furnish water anywhere on the property...you must furnish your own...the old restaurant kitchen is shared to use amongst 7 rooms...one big fridge...for the price they charge for these beautiful rooms they should include fresh water jugs on tap & a mini fridge in ea room...it was alot of steps to get from the 2nd level to the kitchen for something cold to drink/eat The pool/hotub lovely...very clean everywhere...Spectacular views of ocean🙂

Clean, relaxing, great stay Originally stopped by this spot last year because of the ice cold beer signs and they had a full bar and restaurant with an incredible view and essentially private beach (rare find this side of the island). So I chose to stay here as a romantic/relaxing stay. This place is very well taken care of and the rooms are nice and clean. I stayed in the Deluxe Double Room, Partial Ocean View. The pool was cold and clean and the hot tub was warm (not too hot). The landscape was well maintained and the area had good restaurants walking distance away. Overall, I had a great relaxing time and would stay again. FYI, it's now an airbnb, so there's no more bar/restaurant but there is a shared kitchen so you can load up on beers/drinks and cook there if you want. Otherwise, 1 minute walk down the street is a sushi, breakfast/lunch/dinner/bar set up (and massage). Pro Tip: if you want to eat at Rosa Sirenas, make a reservation or you likely wont get sat. Didn't go, but heard great things. And check out Fuego de Mar. One our better meals of the trip and it's about 5 minutes walk.

Small and quaint stay with outdoor openness to the Caribbean
