We had an amazing stay. The hotel didn't have our reservation when we arrived but they took care of us and found a room without question. The property is stunning with lush landscaping and a beautiful infinity pool. Our room we super clean and extremely comfortable. ##### Natalie Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve Jun 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property ##### Steve Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keely Jul 1, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff was so sweet and accommodating. The property was pristine along with the pool. Food was amazing every meal. Wildlife is very active (monkeys, birds, geckos, iguanas, scarlet macaws, butterfly’s, frogs etc). I always felt safe on the property and would recommend the largest suit to anyone who wants more privacy and quiet since the other rooms you can hear everything within the hotel. There are 3 beautiful beaches between 5-12min driving distance from the hotel. The staff recommends Playa Ventanas but I would recommend Playa Piñuelas apart of the Marino Bellena National Park. Very quiet beach that’s easier to swim or body board at. ##### Keely Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam Jan 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Heaven This place is amazing and wow what a view!
