Yonca Lodge

A tranquil beach-side sanctuary set in beautiful gardens, with trees and flowers, free-ranging chickens, and very talkative frogs. Not the usual package resort, and all the better for that. Breakfast and dinner on the beach is the absolute highlight. A perfect romantic setting, and food is of superb quality, fresh simple and delicious. Our room was clean, simple, quiet, functional, and comfortable. Staff are lovely, though some are young and not very experienced. Tips: 1: if you take a ‘penthouse’ room, leave the A/C on low while you’re out so you don’t get a roasting on return. 2: at dinner it is a good idea to order drinks and bread as soon as you arrive, because on some nights food orders may take time to arrive and a few reminders… (I guess the staff are also inside the hotel’s ‘stress-free zone’) but patience is splendidly rewarded, so take the time to enjoy the gorgeous beach setting. 3: You’ll definitely need a car 4: Sea shoes will make you happy (shingle beach)

Beautiful property if you love nature, then you must stay here. The breakfast was also amazing all fresh food large spread right on the beach can’t beat it.

Yonca Lodge was absolutely wonderful. The staff was so attentive and kind. The beach is beautiful--we especially enjoyed watching the sailboats. Kids would love it, as they can choose between the pool and the sea. I loved eating outside, and the food was wonderful. My husband particularly appreciated the bartender. Many of the staff spoke English.

Staff, garden, beach and breakfast. That is about it. Facilities leave a lot to be desired. Cheap does not quite make up for ecological none sense. Way too expensive for what it offers.
