I had a really delightful stay here. It’s in a beautiful place, easily accessible by taxi. I was lucky enough to get upgraded to a jungle view room and had monkeys visit me every day on the balcony. My only critique was that the food was unimpressive. Breakfast was disappointing and the dinner was rather bland and underseasoned and a bit over priced. But I took a taxi into town for the second night and had a great meal there. The staff was kind and professional and the facilities were very clean. The views from the room and pool are breathtaking.

It rained the entire time that we were there and they made sure to make it a pleasant experience regardless of the weather. Great customer service, safe place, cleaning was great. I love them. I was with a 3 year old and would pick us up in a cart. It was fabulous.

Edgar the waiter prepared a tropical juice that we would have every morning and had us thinking about it all day long. The staff at the office, they were just so helpful.
