Brigitte's Ranch

Great location, lovely kitchen staff that made excellent breakfasts, and if you like horseback riding, barn on site!

We liked the property very much. It is quite basic, but clean & friendly.

The location is so close to the beach and 2 restaurants/bars, the host also did horseback riding and chocolate teaching, plus other adventures. The included breakfast was excellent, with a choice of at least 4 different meals and so good. The staff was extremely pleasant and helpful, the host spoke at least 3 languages, English, German and Spanish.

It was all good. There were sloths on the property, and other animals, including chickens, cats and dogs.

The cabin was very nice and the built in jacuzzi on the porch was very magical. Nice retreat into nature. The breakfast was also very tasty.

The property wasn't where it was advertised--we thought it was close to the beach, but that was actually just where the main property was. After checking in, we were redirected to another property which was very nice but a much, much further walk to the beach. There also was very little hot water.

The stay had some nice aspects, especially the friendly staff and the good breakfast with generous portions. We also really enjoyed the ranch and the opportunity to see lots of animals around the property, including green frogs, chickens, sloths and iguanas. The terrace with hammocks was a lovely place to relax.

However, there were also some significant downsides. The interior of the bungalow was a big disappointment and definitely needs renovation and updating. It also wasn’t as clean as we would have expected, and there was a strong musty smell from the moisture inside the bungalow, which made the stay less comfortable. The Wi-Fi connection was also quite weak. On Fridays, there was a nearby bar playing very loud live music until at least 3 a.m., which made it extremely difficult to sleep.
