The hotel was very nice, the staff was pleasant and willing to help with any needs. The food options were plenty and tasted delicious. The only recommendation I would have is to put a fresh coat of paint in some of the areas. However, that wouldn’t stop me from staying here again.

I stood for one night and the hotel rooms are spacious, well ventilated and illuminated. The parking was close to my room which was fantastic. The constructions, gardening, decorations really sets guests in the tropics. The staff was friendly. While my staying there was an electric shortage, but the hotel's manager resolved within 15 minutes.

The view and the stay is amazing ! It’s located in a perfect place ! The food amazing . I had a problem had to wait about an hour for them to put water in my room so I could shower , brush my teeth , or use the bathroom . Even after they put it on I took a shower afraid I was not getting water since the pressure was not working at all. For a place that looks amazing it sucked that the water was not working and they really were taking their time fixing it for my room

PERFECT FOR LARGE FAMILIES. I have 5 kids ranging from 1 to 12 and the layout of the rooms was perfect. The activities on site were also perfect. There's a pool that's safe for 5 year olds but deep enough so the older kids enjoy as well and a separate deeper pool for the bigger kids. BEAUTIFUL. PEACEFUL. PERFECT.
