he accommodations are the perfect balance of luxury and simplicity which immediately make you feel loved and wrapped in the comforts of home. The views from our cabana were incredible; we woke up with the howler monkeys at sunrise every morning and opened the curtains to soak it all in—-or went out on our balcony in the hammocks—-too awesome! The infinity pool is fun but the big thing you will definitely love is the proximity to the waterfalls, just a great 5 minute walk down the hill. Anamaya works with Young Vision Surf School and they come and pick you up right at the front door of the property.
