Great Location, But Lacking Hospitality!
Our recent stay at The Green Lodge was somewhat disappointing. While the location itself is beautiful, it’s quite remote, which added to the inconvenience as there was no food available on-site—a detail we weren’t informed about beforehand. The beach at the lodge is scenic, but if you’re looking to swim, you’ll need to walk about 10 minutes to find small ponds in the ocean near the golf course. The beach directly in front of the lodge isn’t suitable for proper swimming.
One of the main issues was the lack of friendliness from the owners, which made the atmosphere feel quite unwelcoming. Throughout our stay, it felt as though the owners’ concerns were prioritized over ensuring a positive guest experience, which was disheartening.
One of us stayed in the main house, and the room was far from intimate. The walls were thin, and with the owners staying in the other rooms of the house, it felt more like a shared space than a private getaway.
On a positive note, Betty, who took care of breakfast, and Karen were both lovely and welcoming, which helped to balance out some of the negative aspects of our stay.
Overall, while the location is remote and tranquil, the lack of hospitality and food options, combined with the feeling of constantly tiptoeing around the owners, left us disappointed. I would advise future guests to read reviews carefully before booking.

The pictures on the website does not do this place justice. This place is amazing and beautiful. The hosts and staff are very nice. Love the German Shepherds dogs and cats!

We liked that it was very quite people wise. Dogs barked quite a bit but since I love animals it was ok.
I was very disappointed in our room. It said pool view, you couldn't see the pool. It was upstairs and over the office and next to the owners living quarters. (Not very private) My husband had hip issues and was very painful for him to climb that many steps. The descriptions never mentioned stairs or I wouldn't have booked it.
The road to get there was like nothing I've ever seen. We had a rental car and it was rough and full of pot holes and very long.

Lovely Bungalows at the Green Lodge
Posted 7 Mar 2024 on HotelsWe stayed in a very nice bungalow for 5 days in February. It was in 80 degrees and humid. It took awhile to cool off the room in the evenings. The hostess spoke English and was very helpful in signing us up for excursions, making recommendations for restaurants etc and renting a car. We were picked up at the lodge for excursions. We enjoyed the snorkeling and garden tours. The pool was clean and warmed by the sun, but refreshing. Breakfast was a lovely assortment of fresh fruits and breads, plus juice, tea & coffee on an open air patio. There was an option for lunch &/or dinner that was quite delicious. There is also a cafe next door (closed on certain days). We rented a car for 2 days, $80./day USD. Free Wi-Fi. The TV was in French with limited channels. The lodge was quiet at night and we slept well. We enjoyed our time there and would stay there again.

Property is off the beaten path, isolated which we liked. My husband spent hours sitting at a cabana watching the wild ocean waves crashing to the shore. They serve breakfast (fruits and jelly), and we ordered omelets for an extra fee. They also serve lunch and dinner except on Sundays. Bring SNACKs. I wish we did. It would have solved a lot of my food cravings.

This was such an incredible property. We loved how peaceful it was. It was lovely from start to finish with the greeting from the owner Isabella to the delicious breakfasts to the ocean sounds at night, beautiful cabana, we could not have been happier! I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Nice stay. Accommodations were pleasant. Limited options at breakfast-fruit and pastries-with an upcharge for eggs. Dinner was extremely limited menu with no options for vegetarians so we had to venture out to eat. Brought food back but were told we had to eat in our room (with no table) because they have a restaurant (which didn’t open for an hour and a half). Pretty beach but rough and did not try to get in.
