The staff were excellent and the food was delicious. We enjoyed our stay very much. The view of the ocean was fabulous from our room and also from the dining area. Travelers should not be discouraged by the incline and stairs - a courtesy golfcart ride is readily available. On top of this - monkey and iguana visits were a daily event!

The best thing is that it is very close to the National Park. It serves a good breakfast although I’d change the juice for a natural juice, not from concentrate. I was there during a weekend so they had live music on Saturday which it was nice. The staff was very polite and helpful. The rooms are small but they are ok. The restaurant has a nice view, specially at sunset. Wear a repellent for mosquitoes everywhere you go.
