Great location. Beautiful tropical gardens and view to the mountains. Quite, yet only 15 min walk to a small settlement with restaurants (on a pavement). There is a corner shop 150m away and a lovely little soda/restaurant less then 200m away.

Our stay at Fortuna Retreat was absolutely AMAZING! It truly was "Retreat-style" as it was peaceful, rejuvenating, and wonderfully private.The property is beautifully designed, with natural plants throughout the landscape creating calm, relaxing atmosphere. Our room was spotless, had comfortable bed and a gorgeous view. The staff is wonderful! They coordinated all of our tours, and each one was executed perfectly. Breakfast was delicious and the outside dining area was full of wildlife. One of my favorite stays ever—highly recommended!
what a view to wake up to!
