Our opinion
Aguas Claras hotel is a true beachfront gem hidden in the tropical forest of Punta Chiquita.
Every detail is designed to maximize your senses, the surrounding nature renews you every day, and just passing through the gate at the hotel gives you an unexpected sense of peace and beauty. The gardens are impeccable, there you can admire toucans, monkeys, and vibrant hummingbirds and colorful butterflies.
The fusion of Caribbean food is creative, healthy, and delicious. Besides you can have drinks and food right at the beautiful beach at the DaLime Beachfront Restaurant, which means “hanging out with friends” or socializing in Jamaican “patwah”.
A short walk down a road is a light clay-colored beach where you can do snorkeling, have a drink, or even celebrate a small wedding. Also at low tide with the reef exposed warm tide pools can be enjoyed by visitors.
The bungalows are decorated individually with contemporary furniture in beautiful colors, with local artwork and unique comforts like outdoor showers and locally made bathroom soaps and oils. A hotel with sustainability in mind! A wonderful adult-only hotel to stay!
