I will absolutely stay here again
I was so warmly welcomed upon arrival to Dr. Ivette's healing farm sanctuary. She kindly took the time showing me around the farm because I told her that I work with farmers! It's a beautiful and inclusive place and I will absolutely stay here again. Her communication was excellent, the place had everything i could have needed. Thank you!

Dr Ivette’s farm house is cute and very comfortable. She goes over and above to make your stay comfortable. The farm is amazing and interesting. The beach is a few minutes walk. Definitely worth the trip.
