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 location was truly a paradise, with monkeys and parrots adding to the breakfast charm. The setting right next to the Pacific Ocean was breathtaking. However, the access road was rough, somewhat detracting from the overall experience.

The hotel offered a beautifully landscaped pool and lush tropical gardens, perfect for relaxing and unwinding. However, the dining facilities did not match the quality of the rooms and surroundings.

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.

The location allowed for a lot of privacy next to the beach and beautiful mango trees. However, it is quite remote, down a long gravel road.
