Reviews and Ratings
Wow, this hotel was truly a gem! The rooms were exceptional, with a fantastic living room, outdoor shower, indoor shower, hammock on the deck, and even a partial ocean view – I felt like I was in paradise. However, the only downside was the lack of hot water for the shower. The service was outstanding; the staff went above and beyond to assist us, even helping us contact the police and allowing us to use their telephone extensively. The location was like something out of a dream, with monkeys and parrots enjoying mangos in the trees during breakfast – right on the Pacific Ocean. The dining experience was a bit of a letdown with tiny portions, especially for a 5-star hotel. Despite that, the hotel facilities were top-notch, making my stay unforgettable.
Staying at this hotel felt like being in a tropical paradise, surrounded by lush gardens and a beautiful pool. The rooms were spacious and inviting, with charming amenities like a hammock and indoor/outdoor shower. However, the dining options were limited and quite expensive, making it necessary to venture outside for meals.
The hotel is set in beautiful tropical gardens with a wonderfully landscaped pool, offering nice balconies with the most comfortable hammocks ever. However, there were issues with a stinky bathroom and a creaky door, and the room wasn't ready on time.
