    sea view balcony
    intimate vibe
    access route
    small pool
    breakfast delays

    The Beautiful Double Room boasts a fantastic balcony with sea views, perfect for watching the sunrise while sipping coffee. The resort’s small size adds an intimate vibe, catering well to couples looking for a low-key getaway.

    Accessing the hotel can feel a bit daunting, as the route takes you through a local market and residential area, which might unsettle first-time arrivals-especially at night. The pool is small and gets crowded, particularly with families occupying loungers. The breakfast experience could be a drag, with long waits for coffee and limited food variety, while the dining options at dinner do not meet high expectations despite being adequate.

    stunning, stunning, stunning

    The beachfront access was phenomenal, making each morning a delight as I sipped coffee while watching the sunrise from my Deluxe Double Room balcony. The swimming pool provided a perfect oasis to unwind after exploring, and I adored the variety of fresh, delicious food that catered to different diets. Each meal was a culinary treat, ensuring I was well-fed and hydrated during my stay.

    The private loungers at our room were just perfect! The resort is super beautiful and clean, but I wish breakfast had a bit more variety. 🌴

    floating breakfast
    unreliable wi-fi

    Floating breakfast bliss in paradise

    From the moment we arrived, the warmth and hospitality of the staff made us feel at home. Each morning, we enjoyed the floating breakfast in the pool—delightfully fresh and a perfect way to start the day. The peaceful atmosphere, coupled with beautiful decor and a stunning beachfront, created a serene escape. The cocktails by the pool were also a highlight, perfectly complementing the breathtaking sunsets.

    The Wi-Fi connection in the room was spotty at times, which made it hard to stream anything. we encountered a lack of available bicycles, despite it being advertised. Accessing the resort can feel a bit challenging for first-time visitors, especially when navigating through the local market area to reach the resort.

    beachfront views
    intimate atmosphere
    delicious food
    crowded pool
    difficult access

    Imara is truly a slice of paradise! The beachfront location is unbeatable, with stunning views right from the Deluxe Double Room balcony. Each morning, I relaxed there, sipping coffee and watching the sunrise over the ocean. The pool is undeniably lovely, but be warned—during peak times, it can feel a bit cramped with families lounging around. I celebrated my birthday here, and the staff surprised me with a birthday cake and a cocktail, which felt really special. The food during breakfast was fantastic, so many delicious options to choose from. I thoroughly enjoyed the fries—can't remember a meal without them! the beach does have jellyfish during low tide, so walking along the shore requires some caution. Accessing the resort was a bit challenging at times, especially since you navigate through a local market, which might be Daunting for first-time visitors. Despite minor inconveniences, Imara is a beautiful, intimate spot perfect for a relaxing getaway.

    beachfront access
    slow wi-fi

    The resort is directly next to the beach, offering stunning views from the rooms. The pool area is fantastic, perfectly complemented by the beachfront access. The restaurant offers delicious and fresh breakfast options daily, and dinner is a delightful experience.

    Wi-Fi service was occasionally slow, which was inconvenient at times.
