I wish I could give the staff 100 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️!! Professional, accommodating and super nice staff. Whatever we ask them, they did it with a smile. For example, we were going on a tour and they loaned us towels that we returned upon our return. Beautiful hidden gem of a hotel!

This place was beautiful. The grounds are amazing and well kept. The service was great. Breakfast was delicious. Pool area was nice and not crowded with a great bartender. The beach directly out from hotel is a bit rocky but a short walk down the beach there are amazing areas to get in the water.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was spacious, clean and private. The staff were excellent, very friendly and attentive. The grounds were lovely, with plenty of trees and flowering plants. The pool was large and cleaned consistently, and the views of the beach and ocean were beautiful. We saw plenty of birds, iguanas and the howler monkeys. As for the restaurant, the breakfast was generally very good, but the eggs were frequently cold. The prices are high and several of the dinner items we had were not good....for example, very tough osso buco and over-spiced fettuccine. We had fresher and better food down the beach at the Eco-Camping mini restaurant, and at Blu. This resort would benefit from more activities. The shallow end of the pool is perfect for things like water volleyball and aquafit. The place also needs quite a bit of maintenance in the rooms, and on the grounds. Overall, we had a good stay.

Beautiful calm beach. Jungle garden property. Big rooms with garden patio. Nice pool area recommend having car to see area. Close to Hermosa and Coco beach also 1 hour drive to Rincon Area and 20 minute drive to airport. Cons-lounge/bar area could be set up to be more inviting. Could include bar seating, lively music, drink specials. Would also recommend having paddle boards for the calm water.
