Spent four days at this boutique resort and enjoyed it enormously. It's small and welcoming; the young staff goes out of its way to make you feel comfortable. The rooms are clean and the service is excellent. For surfers, it is ideal. And for those who enjoy the seaside, the view from the balcony cannot be matched, especially at sunset.

This hotel took us in at the last minute, literally around 8pm at night. We were not sure where we could stay since we had come in from another island and did not make any reservations. The manager was very nice and gave us the prince room, very clean and nice and quiet. We sleep well and had a wonderful... More

Stayed three nights at The Little Surfmaid. If you're all about the surf then this is fine. The accommodation is pretty basic but there is room to store your boards and direct access to the point. We moved after three nights to somewhere a bit more family friendly. The manager wanted to charge us for an additional night, but relented.

My family stayed here at the end of Dec 2012 and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Right in front of the hotel is an incredible surfing point where there were more than 20 surfers in the morning of our stay. It was my first time to watch live surfing and it was so interesting. What an incredible sport! I am... More

Our family of three stayed at The Little Surfmaid Resort in the "King" suite. The suite was on the 2nd floor overlooking the beach and surf with a balcony, including small table and two chairs. The staff, C, Sol, and all others were excellent! The hotel was clean and we felt very safe. There is a safe in the room,... More

Very nice hotel with excellent service. The staff offers surfing lessons on the beautiful beach in the "back yard" of the hotel. The food is also good and offers many different dishes. I can really recommend to start the morning with a delicious mango shake. The picture I have attached is taken from the hotel balcony.
