"Excellent stay. We were very comfortable the entire time. The pool is fabulous and it lights up at night. The rooms are comfortable and have AC and fans. The restaurant has a great menu and excellent quality food. The service is great. You can walk here from the airport (maybe 7 minutes). They arranged all our tours for us, and at good prices.

We would love to come back! "
