Pretty good spot! Quiet villas surrounded by well manicured gardens and pools. The breakfast has an amazing view and such a good vibe! The hotel is pretty much in the centre of the action and still maintains a peaceful atmosphere .We got upgraded to a duplex room so happy about that but there were several geckos inside of it chirping all night. Saw parrots and agoutis on the property, and several monkeys across it. Clean rooms and fresh sheets everyday and perfect a/c :)

Great location for walking to several restaurants. The atmosphere of the property was very lush and tropical despite being close to the road. Monkeys in the trees were such an exciting treat to see. One thing to consider is you get ur steps in since there are a few. Good exercise so felt I kept fit for the 4 nights. The three different pools were a nice feature as well. Rooms were comfy. AC worked great and beds were comfy. Included Breakfast at the restaurant was delicious. Restaurant across the street “El Avión” was a fun dinner. Food was good with variety.

The rooms were cleaned regularly and spotless and the staff friendly, but what really stood out was the abundant nature. I saw more wildlife here than on all of the nature tours I went on put together. I saw 3 different types of monkey, iguanas and lots of birds including the striking fiery-billed toucan.
