0.5/5
Heads-up for parents: there was black mold in the room we were given on check-in. When reported and asked for another room, they took nearly a whole day to sort but it was sorted in the end.
-
5/5
Liked: Beautiful setting in the jungle, but have all access to amenities of the larger hotel in front. Staff was really great all around, always helpful, kind. They made the place look well cared for, and the guests well cared for.
Heads-up for parents: While the excursions we did were great, and the guides awesome, there was no choice on excursion, or advance notice (before checking in) of what is the schedule for your excursions.
-
5/5
Liked: The snorkeling excursion was great. Staff was friendly and very helpful. They provided snacks and drinks and the stop at the sandbar was super cool. We saw a turtle stingray barracuda and a variety of other fish.
-
3.5/5
Liked: The room is quiet and privacy. The garden view outside the balcony is beautiful. There are little yellow belly birds come to the balcony every morning. The pool and restaurant are never crowded. The snorkeling tour guide was great.
Watch out: The room smells not good. The air conditioner of our room was a little loud. The only has the shower on the ceiling.
