Why guests love itAWA Boutique + Design Hotel sits near both Playa Brava and Playa Mansa, so families can choose the open-sea beach or the calmer bay side depending on the day. Back at the hotel, the outdoor pool and the poolside restaurant make a relaxed afternoon base for children. Large double-glazed windows keep rooms quiet, which helps with naps and early nights. I would suggest it to design-minded parents who also want a full-service spa, and a 9.0 score from over 850 reviews supports that.
