I had a wonderful stay at this resort, enjoying the well-furnished and spacious rooms that offered beautiful views of both the ocean and lush greenery. The staff made my experience even better with their warm hospitality. However, I did find that the vegetation around the area was a bit overgrown, which slightly obstructed the sea view from my room and made the pool a bit dirty at times. Overall, the value for money is decent, although the dining experience could use some improvement.

I found this hotel to be a bit of a mixed bag. The views from the villa were stunning, especially with a direct ocean view, and having our own private pool was a real treat. However, the vegetation around the area was overgrown, which blocked the sea view from our room and made the pool quite dirty. Overall, it was beautiful, but there were some maintenance issues that could use attention.

My stay at the resort was quite nice, with some highlights and a few drawbacks. The rooms offered stunning views and a huge balcony, though they could use a ceiling fan to improve comfort. The service was a mix-while the owners were attentive and welcoming, there were moments of chaos. The location was truly immersive, surrounded by jungle and wildlife, perfect for disconnecting. Dining was a bit underwhelming, as the breakfast offerings lacked variety and quality. Overall, it's a lovely place, but a few improvements could enhance the experience.

My stay at the hotel was quite an experience. The rooms were spacious and remarkably cozy, which made it easy to relax. Plus, having a private pool was definitely a highlight! However, I did face some noise issues due to the air conditioning unit being right above the bed. On the service side, managing breakfast for a packed hotel seemed a bit chaotic, and the dining offerings during breakfast didn't meet my expectations. Overall, it was a serene getaway surrounded by nature but came with a few hiccups.

Service was a bit disorganized during breakfast, likely due to the full hotel capacity. There wasn't a clear structure overseen by a maitre d', which left things feeling a little chaotic.
