Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a decent stay with some room for improvement. The rooms, while functional, could use a few upgrades like more hooks in the bathroom and repair of cracked tiles. On the plus side, the location provides easy access to various attractions and beautiful views of the beach.
My stay at the hotel was an overall pleasant experience. The rooms, while not the most luxurious, were perfectly adequate and immaculately kept, with spacious balconies overlooking a beautiful rainforest environment. The service was friendly and helpful, but there were some lapses in room servicing. The location, integrated within the lush nature with a pool and beach, was a highlight, though it could get busy. The dining options were enjoyable but could be improved in terms of availability. The facilities were well-maintained with some limitations.
My stay at the hotel was truly a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although slightly musty due to the high humidity, were comfortable overall and equipped with essential amenities. The location, nestled in the jungle, offered a unique setting but required a bit of walking. The service was exceptional, especially from staff members like Enrique at the Italian restaurant and Christian at the front desk. The dining experience stood out with a fantastic buffet, though a la carte options seemed limited. Despite some cleaning issues, the beach location was stunning with clear waters perfect for swimming.
The hotel is nestled in a stunning jungle setting, providing a real nature experience. The rooms lack drawer space, and the furniture layout is impractical. The staff is attentive and offer various services, but some delays were experienced in room service. The location is perfect for exploring nearby activities, but not recommended for high-end luxury seekers. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, offering a convenient stay.
The hotel rooms were spacious and clean, but lacked dressers for drawer space, instead featuring a 1950's wicker couch and coffee table taking up unnecessary space. The cleanliness was commendable, with a good room size provided for us, but a bit late check-in at 4:00 pm.
