At the far south reaches of San Pedro, this intimate resort is a tranquil option for those looking to escape the bustle of downtown without abandoning modern facilities and a touch of luxury. The rooms feature elegant furnishings and excellent kitchens and there is a pool with a cave-like sunken bar and a long dock sheltering an artificial reef that attracts interesting marine life.
