Positive: We had a great stay at Lajoya! Huge thanks to Alex, who was incredibly helpful with our activities—everything went smoothly and we felt right at home. Breakfast was delicious, and the fresh juice was the ultimate morning boost!
Negative: Our ground-floor room was a bit dark, noisy, and brought us a few too many bug bites. However, we saw the upper-floor rooms and next time we’ll definitely book one of those—they look like a complete 10/10!

Positive: La Joya is a quaint property in the middle of Shela. It’s quiet, and peaceful. Alex is lovely, and attentive to your needs. He’s always happy to arrange what you need during your stay - from laundry to boats !
Negative: It’s a bit tricky to find where the house is, but the locals are always happy to point you in the right direction. The ground floor rooms lack natural light. Perhaps include insect spray in the rooms for the mosquitoes who get underneath the net at times.
Summary: Lovely wholesome stay in Shela

Positive: We were lucky to experience the upstairs rooftop penthouse. It's literally like sleeping outside under the makuti roof. Yes there's ants and wind and tiny peaces of the roof everywhere but the experience was awesome! The view was spectacular and the vibe was great. The place was cleaned daily. It's really an experience to do in Shela!
