    Pool was a littl smaller than anticipated. The rooms may need a little updating. The photos online reflect as if they are in better shape and nicer than actual. However, it served our needs perfectly. Would still stay there again since it had the option for 2 rooms w/ kitchen and overall experience.

    Really enjoyed having excellent quality food/restaurants on site with included brkfst. Loved the ambiance and landscape of the hotel grounds. Great location and staff was friendly/professional. We prefer boutique style hotels for the uniqueness and less busy so this was perfect for us. A great stay overall!

    As others have stated, the rooms are a bit tired, but they were clean and comfortable (and large). I was there for work and did not end up spending a whole lot of time hanging out at the pool or on property, but it given the remote location, there wasn't a lot going on and if you want to expl0ore count on diving a bit. I would not hesitate to stay here again but probably would not select this general area if on vacation.

    This hotel is right on the beach. Its a dark sand beach, but very long, uncrowded and nice place to stroll/hang out. The food at the restaurant was good/no complaints. I did not eat any of the steaks, but apparently the owner has them shipped in and they are supposedly very good. The Lanscape in the report was lush and tropical. It is located right in town and there are a few bars and restaurants to walk to. There isn't a lot going on in the area, making it pretty quiet and relaxing. I felt very safe at the hotel and outside in the town/on the beach.

    The room was okay - it could have been just a little cleaner, there were some burned out lightbulbs and a few amenities missing (extra pillows, blankets). we had a surprising amount of street noise from somewhere pretty late which I was surprised by.

    The location was excellent and you do feel tucked into a little jungle area with lots of foliage. we loved the convenience of the pool/beach and had good food at the restaurant.

    If you don’t claim your lounger in the shade by sunrise you may be stuck in a sunny spot for the day. They could definitely use more shaded area options for lounging. Local authentic live music would have been fun to experience there. Great setting for it.

    We loved the location– right on the beach! Taco was always checking in on us, making sure we had everything we needed and making suggestions. He really made our stay personalized and friendly and went above and beyond.

    Food timings in the restaurant was confusing. Sometimes certain things on the menu were not available. One waiter said no this is not available until dinner time; but another waiter said sure i can order that for you now.. not a huge deal, but a little inconsistent. Food was delicious by the way.

    The resort had everything we needed, beachfront, food. Down the street 2 minutes was the best Indian food (and I have lived in India - it was really good!). The highlight for us were the massages - Paola was the best massage therapist! I saw her three days in a row. She was so attuned to my body, it was a very healing experience. She was so kind to me. I have had massages all over the world, and this was one of the best I ever received. My partner also saw Paoloa two days in a row and he agreed - Paola is a STAR! Thank you so much. Breakfast buffet was nice, as was all the food.

    Food was so-so. Drinks were kind of weak (we had to order an extra shot of rum to make it taste like there was any rum in the pina coladas or mai tais). Prices for some things were surprisingly high (massages were prices of US massages in big cities.)

    The room was great for our family (parents + 2 teens) since the living area had bunk beds that they loved. It was a little odd to have such a large kitchen. The shower water pressure was very poor (seems like the showerhead needs cleaning or changing). They didn't really provide enough towels at start but happily provided more. The beach itself wasn't particularly impressive. Somewhat dirty and only 2 so-so chairs. Front desk had a few boogey boards half of which were broken. (But a great view!). Breakfast and food in general was sort of one-note, everything started tasting the same by day 3 but the waiters were lovely, friendly, fast. Given that the price was similar to what we have paid in fancier resorts in FL, HI, CA, etc. I did expect a bit more but it was a learning experience.

    Hotel is set in a beautiful area just overlooking the Pacific Ocean, allowing access to a gorgeous beach setting. Rooms were clean and spacious. The included breakfast featured both fresh local products and more continental options that were both tasty.

    The pool and grounds were both a little dirty, but not so dirty that you didn't want to swim - mostly tree debris. It was a bit expensive for what it was - you are definitely paying a premium for beachfront.

    The staff was all lovely and welcoming. The food and drinks were good and the sunset was fabulous. The hotel is right on the beach. The room was clean and huge and my kiddo loved the bunk beds. He said it was the most comfortable bed ever.

    The sand at the beach is darker and gets unbearably hot around noon. Best to walk the beach in the morning or early evening. There are several remotes to use in the rooms. Do not lose the remote for the ceiling fan/light otherwise there are no manual controls.

    The hotel is located right on the beach. There is a poolside swim up bar and regular bar, hot tub, restaurant, nice size clean rooms, and 24 hour security at the entrance for your vehicles. The staff is friendly and eager to practice their English with guests. Bonus: they have a wonderful yoga instructor who comes several times a week and even Zumba!

    Huge area given to public space in family room meant that unpacking space in bedrooms was limited

    Really pleasant stay, gorgeous location on the beach to enjoy beautiful sunsets, reception staff charming and swim up bar staff great. A few of the breakfast team sometimes looked as though they'd rather be elsewhere and a few bits of maintenance could be improved (planters half way up stairs untended, a bit of flaky paint) but generally a very nice option for a decent price
