Loved my stay at Fina Vela. Everything there is just spot on, with such attention to detail. Marie, Christophe and Matheo were excellent hosts. I had an early morning work call and they very kindly brought a breakfast picnic box to my bungalow to make sure I didn't miss breakfast whilst working - such kindness.
Marcia - TripAdvisor
It's all in the details Beautiful accommodation! Spacious room (fully equipped) and terrace with loungers and a hammock. On the property you will find several sitting areas to relax. The hosts are so hospitable, it lacks for nothing. Really excellent service! It felt like a couple of days in paradise, we wish we had booked

A great little gem hidden away from the backpackers and party crowd of Isla Colón. Small family resort feels like staying at your friend's chic finca in a deserted island.
