The vacation experience at La Piroque was fantastic, a inspiring place to be. Extraordinary services paired with sunny weather and a sandy beach made our stay unforgettable - especially the dinner at the Magenta restaurant where Kisina and Kevin were serving us was wonderful. Thanks for having us with you.
