LASTING IMPRESSION

“To deliver on this project we had to overcome major space and access constraints. The result is a dazzling collection of uniquely designed and themed properties, each one taking its interior design cue from central American materials such as wood, tiles, mosaics and roof thatch and all sourced from specialist indigenous artisans rather than large commercial enterprises. Essentially, we went back to local nature to create the finish of the homes and augment the atmosphere of the resort itself.”
