Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers comfortable and clean rooms, though not spectacular, they are adequate for a pleasant stay. The staff is friendly and helpful, contributing to a positive experience. The location, nestled in the rainforest along the river and beaches, provides a unique opportunity to enjoy wildlife. The dining options are good, especially for those participating in snorkeling tours, and the facilities are well-maintained.
I had a wonderful time at the resort. The rooms were fantastic, offering a mix of comfort and style, although some room locations were more desirable than others. The open-air screens added a unique touch to the experience. The service was top-notch, with staff always ready to assist and share their knowledge. The location was simply breathtaking, allowing me to witness wildlife directly from the terrace. The dining experience was pleasant, especially mingling with other guests. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a lovely view across the gardens over the bay, but lacking ideal breezes. The dining area could use some improvement for a more romantic dining experience for two.
