"This hotel was perfect! The property is beautiful, the 2 restaurants were very good. Breakfast was included and you have so many full choicees. The food was so good at the other restaurant that we ate there 3 times! We stayed in the bungalow and it was super nice. The bed and pillowes and bedding were clean and cozy and comfy. We slept as we do at home. Outside of the momekeys everywhere, the staff were the best part. They were so hlepful when it came to booking excursions and directions to stores an even secret beaches. We would definitely stay here again and again. Along with the espresso cup machine there is also a tea kettle, full ,fridge, microwave and a 2 burner stove. In the roomIn the room."

Hotel San Bada Resort & Spa

8/10 Good
"This hotel is in the IDEAL location. Convenience: Right next to the park entrance-which is great for going into the park, but also coming back when you are hot and sandy. If you want to shop souvenirs, no need to go farther than a stones throw away. There is also a private access tunnel to the beach, which, while still a small walk away, was very convenient and we made use of it many times. Staff: When we arrived, we were greeted warmly and with delicious natural fruit drinks. We arrived early and were accommodated with an early check-in. Over the course of our stay the staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond many times. My husband was not feeling well and one of the staff,Kevin, noticed and offered to make a hydration drink so he could get back on his feet. I can't say enough about how grateful I am to him and how friendly he was in the days after when seeing him around the hotel. Everyone was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Premises: some of the hotel is dated, but many parts are also renovated-the bathroom in the rooms, for example. But one thing that was always apparent was how clean everything was. The pool especially was an area where you could feel how clean the floor was. Fresh towels and etc were quickly replaced, and there were thoughtful touches that felt nice. The room itself had everything you needed and plenty of space. For the price, location and service, it's hard to beat this place. Food: is decent and in large portions."
