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 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.
