We got this hotel because our flight was canceled and I am glad we went here. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and the staff went beyond expectations..they kept the restaurant open a bit longer for us because we came in late and made us sandwich’s in the morning because we had to get to the airport very early. The room was comfortable and the shower was amazing. I am glad we found this hotel and would stay again.

Solid 3 star hotel. Easy to get to, quiet secluded location, but located next to a beach alcove and also a 10 minutes drive to coco beach where you can shop and hang out. Amenities were nice and staff was helpful when the power went out providing a fan until everything came back on

We stayed four days in April 2026. The property is wonderful, with an extensive beach, great pool and wonderful staff. The restaurant is very good, lots of variety and lots of food. Breakfast was wonderful with fresh fruit and a good menu. Our room was clean and the Air Conditioning was good. The hounds are extensive, trees, shrubs and Howler monkey in the trees. Would stay there again.

This place was beautiful. The grounds are amazing and well kept. The service was great. Breakfast was delicious. Pool area was nice and not crowded with a great bartender. The beach directly out from hotel is a bit rocky but a short walk down the beach there are amazing areas to get in the water.

I wish I could give the staff 100 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️!! Professional, accommodating and super nice staff. Whatever we ask them, they did it with a smile. For example, we were going on a tour and they loaned us towels that we returned upon our return. Beautiful hidden gem of a hotel!

The food was amazing and the staff was exceptional. We were there during the down season so the pool wasn’t really clean and the hot tub and pool bar were not functioning; however, the staff was so helpful and polite and treated us like royalty. Daniella set us up with every excursion and Jesus drove us to the nearby beaches. Other than the facilities needing a little updating, the place was amazing and we would definitely go back! Just keep in mind you are in a very quiet part of the coast, so if you want more action you might not want to be in this area. But it was perfect for us!

Resort is clean but is in real need of updates and some added amenities. Onsite restaurant was good but very expensive- a single serve bottle of water was more than beer (and I had asked for tap water but just accepted the bottle) The beach could use a clean up and taking too. Lush gardens and we got to see lots of monkey’s which was cool!
