The resort offers a beautiful and tranquil environment, surrounded by nature and wildlife, making it a lovely escape. The property is stunning, but the long, unpaved road can be a hassle to get there. Prices for food and drinks are quite steep, which is a significant downside. Overall, it's a great place to unwind if you're ready to overlook a few imperfections.

My stay at the hotel was quite a rollercoaster. On one hand, the location was absolutely beautiful, surrounded by nature and offering a sense of calm. The individual huts were cozy and unique. However, the service was unfortunately very disappointing, marred by rudeness and a lack of proper communication. The dining experience also left much to be desired, with limited options and quality issues.

My stay at the hotel was filled with mixed experiences. While the location next to the beach was fantastic and the gardens were lovely, the service from the owner was quite unpleasant. The room was decently maintained, though the overall stress from the service overshadowed the positives. We also experienced issues with pricing and communication, which definitely affected our enjoyment. Still, there were beautiful sunsets and a decent pool area to enjoy.

Clandestino is a tranquil retreat with lush surroundings, perfect for those looking to escape the busyness of tourist hotspots. The rooms are spacious and modern, and the setting directly on a beautiful beach is captivating. However, the location is quite remote with limited nearby amenities, and the dining prices may be a bit steep for some. Overall, it's a lovely place for relaxation, especially for animal lovers.
