The hotel has a beautiful setting with spacious rooms that provide a stunning view of the rainforest. While the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, my check-in experience could have been smoother. The dining options were decent but could use a bit more variety. Overall, it's a good value for money, but the room readiness upon arrival was a disappointment.

I had a great experience at the hotel overall, with comfortable rooms and a friendly staff that made me feel welcome. The location was fantastic for enjoying the hotel's amenities but a bit far from downtown. However, the dining options could definitely be improved, as the breakfast didn’t quite live up to expectations.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the location right on the beach is amazing and the views from the rooms are breathtaking. However, I encountered significant issues with the cleanliness of the rooms, which smelled musty and moldy. The service was also hit or miss - some staff were accommodating, but there were moments that felt far from the 5-star service I expected.

My stay at the hotel had some highs and lows. The view from the room was stunning, and the room itself was comfortable. The staff was quite friendly and accommodating, which added a nice touch. However, I was bothered by the strong smell of cigarette smoke from the adjoining room, and the noise was quite disruptive. While the location is decent, I found it a bit noisy at times. Overall, there were some great aspects, but some issues kept it from being a perfect experience.
