Casa Botanica

People excellent - food healthy and delicious - ambience amazing

Leafy oasis away from the busyness and stead

I loved everything about this small boutique hotel - location, interior, breakfast and yoga classes. And hotel staffs are friendly and helpful. Oh, I also love little shop in the hotel - they support local artists and the selections are beautiful.

Only one thing - mosquitos.

Home feeling. The property is a very nice house with great staff, tea, milk and coffee available at all times, daily yoga classes and stunning meat-free breakfast. Unless you are seeking for the heart of the touristy area, or are not into the wellness mood, this is your place to stay!

Although near the beach, it is a bit distant (15 min drive) from the heart of the old city, shops and attractions. But who cares. This place is a peace of mind.

I liked the location and the ambiance of the environment. The food was enjoyable, though I was hoping for more traditional breakfast options such as scrambled tofu, home fries, avocado toast, sweet plantains, coconut yogurt, and granola. I was disappointed that I couldn't rent a chair at the beach. Additionally, I found the pillows in the room to be uncomfortable—as they lacked proper support, which made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. Another concern was that the yoga instructors did not ask for permission before touching or adjusting participants during class. I also didn't fully enjoy the outdoor yoga sessions due to the constant presence of mosquitoes. Overall, I enjoyed my stay.

The morning Vegan breakfast was different everyday- lovely, delicious, served with care, and beautifully presented. The daily AM yoga was amazing- the teachers were incredible. Using insect repellent is a must for the experience. So beautiful on the patio with the breeze, the birds, and al fresco experience. The beach is a block away. Delicious coffee shop nearby. The common areas of the property are so beautiful to lounge in.

There was a hum of club music behind our property- but we still fell asleep with the coci and the beat. If you're a light sleeper, bring ear plugs. But really it's not a deal breaker- I'd stay here again!

Location was great, charming room, nice outdoor shower, I would’ve liked to stay longer. Also, check in and out was simple.
