I have got to be the fussiest traveler and very spoiled because we always stay at a really nice places. There is not one criticism or suggestion I would give the management about our stay. The room was exceptionally clean, large airy high ceilings perfectly working air conditioner fan lovely patio wonderful rainforest shower. They have saltwater pools and fabulous food in their restaurants. All of the staff it provides exceptional customer service especially the front desk staff, the restaurant management and Andres! I don’t know the name of the woman who is at the Apple station for the complementary breakfast but my goodness… She learned after the first day exactly what we order and provided it every time she saw us come into the dining area! Fabulous location because it’s near everything. Loved it and recommended highly❣️ ![Quinoa chickpea appetizer](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ae0cb4e9-8f39-4503-8212-e93d7e46df4e-1751224887498.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Salt water pool and jetted area](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5d233ecf-a760-4e98-8c95-c31282872e98-1751224915158.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Breakfast made at the omelette station for a vegan](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/980cd858-788a-404b-b222-c68995e5c51c-1751224897257.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Dinner entrée](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e74069c2-02d0-457a-ae69-64e3b6bd166f-1751224905579.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Dr Dorothy Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janice Mar 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It truly was exceptional!
