I had a wonderful stay here. Bob and Wendy are great and knowledgeable hosts, attending to questions and needs was never a concern and they kept me informed of any concerns e.g. the water level in the whole village was getting low at one point and I knew in advance to be aware of use during that time.
The location is at the edge of town but it’s only a short walk or bike ride to the centre or to the resort area. This wouldn’t bother most and suited me fine as I don’t mind adding movement to my day. It also allows for a bit more exploration as you pass places along the way. They allowed me use of a bike during my stay which proved to be enormously helpful. The beach is also just a few minutes walk out front of the property and was quiet and nearly private whenever I went.
I was travelling alone but was lucky to be there during a time that occupants of another cabana on the property and I got along very well and this helped me find new experiences and opportunities to socialise safely.
The cabana itself is clean, has fans and AC, and kitchen equipment for homemade meals. As I was there for a few weeks, this was useful to keep from purchasing too many meals out. Drinking water was provided and there is a jug to keep enough of it cold in the fridge. This cabana has good curtains for keeping light out if you want to sleep in or take a nap. I spent a lot of time quite content reading on the porch, enjoying the weather.
There are two dogs on the property that are very friendly and also quick to announce anyone arriving so it feels safe. I spent some nights out of the village on trips to an island and the country’s interior and never worried about my belongings I’d left behind.
Communication was easy with the hosts (we chose WhatsApp) and I only was limited by my own access to wifi when off site in terms of keeping in touch.
I highly recommend staying at Palma D’Oro Oasis and suspect any available cabana on the property would be a great choice for an affordable and enjoyable stay in Hopkins.
