"Very nice property, we enjoyed the pool and the lagoon, compared to other places we visited, the lagoon area in front of the hotel was clean with crystal clear water. The staff was super friendly and professional! One thing we absolutely did not like is that you have no control over the AC, you need to call the staff to operate it and that was quite annoying, hopefully they will find a better way to do this, at least access to turn on/off would have nice."

"Mia Hotels was a very good resort not the high end luxury property as they called themself but if I have a thing to return will be because the food!! The only one restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and the food is absolutely delicious, very well presented and with elegance and variety. Rooms are good very comfortable and with some luxury details, the property in general definitely needs some attention, we did not use the pool but was not welcoming to swim there, the hotel was pretty...

"What an incredible tranquil stay. Staff is incredible, morning breakfast is healthy and so clean. There’s a bocce court and the restaurant has a simple menu that’s vegan friendly but also serves incredible rib eye! Hotel is set in the jungle with a short stroll to the lagoon for a sunrise kayak ride. Highly recommend for a tranquil stay. This is just outside the centro which was fine for us since we had a car. We will definitely be back. "
