19.2/10 Exceptional! (55 reviews)

Our room was super clean. The grounds were lush and jungle like. True rainforest vibes. The staff were so helpful. They arranged our taxi from the airport and a massage by the pool. The breakfast at their restaurant was beyond explanation. It was so different yet phenomenal. Great spot.

Great vibes, location and breakfasts! Agustin was super helpful sending through all the information we needed before we arrived and giving lots of recommendations, including nearby beaches which we wouldn’t have known about. Agustin and all the staff were really friendly and made us feel welcome. There is noise (music) but to be expected and ear plugs are provided for anybody who needs them.
