Reviews and Ratings
Wow, this place is a hidden gem! You get the upstairs of a stand-alone building with a thatch roof and a patio with hammocks. The service was exceptional and they really went out of their way to accommodate us. The location is unbeatable, right on the water but just a couple of blocks up from 5th Ave. The dining experience was top-notch with a variety of tasty options. The facilities were outstanding, making this a great value for the price.
Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were simple, stylish, and clean, perfect for a relaxing stay. The service from all the staff members was exceptional, making our visit truly memorable. The location, right on the beach, provided a beautiful and unique setting for a perfect getaway. The dining experience added a special touch to our stay, although it could have been improved with more variety. Overall, a great value for the money with lovely facilities to enjoy.
My stay at the resort was absolutely amazing! The best room in the resort was beautiful and nicely spaced apart, giving me a feeling of privacy despite being in a resort setting. I stayed in a stand-alone building, a palapa with a grass-thatched roof, with only one other unit either above or below, located in their jungle area, adding to the unique experience.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The room had an outside shower connected to our bathroom, a nice touch for a relaxing experience. The views of the ocean were spectacular, although it was a bit loud due to its location near a public street. The staff was amazing and paid special attention to our 1-year-old baby girl, making our visit very pleasant overall.
Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight! The beachfront casitas are amazing if you love the sound of waves at night and direct access to the white sandy beach. The garden view rooms are also charming, surrounded by lush tropical plants and a soothing water feature. Just be prepared to travel light due to limited space.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms are deliciously decorated within local style bungalows in a tropical park of coconut trees, and the staff promptly hung our hammocks and showed us all the amenities. The service was exceptional with incredibly friendly and attentive staff. The location is great for exploring nearby attractions, though it has some minor issues. The dining experience was delightful, especially having breakfast in front of the beach. Overall, a wonderful experience with a few minor hiccups.
