Al Natural is a wonderful retreat tucked away in nature, providing a genuine island experience. The staff is engaging and welcoming, making us feel like part of a family. The rustic accommodations are charming, reflecting the island's vibe, though they may not be for those seeking luxury. The dining was a standout, with exceptional meals prepared from fresh ingredients. Just be mindful of potential delays in transportation; it can add some stress to your arrival.

My stay at Al Natural Residencias was quite unique and memorable. The villas were comfortable and had lovely views, but the diving experience could use improvement regarding equipment and safety. The food was simply fantastic, especially the dinners, and the communal atmosphere made for great social interactions. However, the bug situation was quite annoying and the tours could have been better organized to maximize our experience.

This resort offers a magical tropical escape with stunning ocean views and charming bungalows right on the beach. The dining experience is communal and quite enjoyable, featuring a wide variety of delicious dishes. However, there were some issues with limited activities and somewhat unpredictable weather during our stay, which might affect the overall experience for some. Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking to disconnect and soak in nature.

We had a wonderful time at the resort, where the atmosphere was incredibly relaxing and the food was simply outstanding. The highlight of our stay was the SCUBA tour, expertly led by Abner. However, we faced some discomfort with the lack of hot water during our stay and the uneven quality of the excursions offered. Overall, this place is great for a tranquil getaway, but some improvements could make it even better.
