"- Trotz das bei Expedia angegeben wird das Frühstück inkludiert ist, musste hierfür extra bezahlt werden. - Das Hotel ist zur Zeit eine Baustelle, es ist den ganzen Tag über extrem laut. - Im Zimmer gab es mal einen Wasserschaden, diese wurde übergemalt, ist jedoch noch sichtbar und riechbar, wärend man im Zimmer hatte ich ständig ein reizen im Hals und musste husten. - Das Zimmer war sehr ungünstig gelegen, direkt neben der Bar, so das außerhalb der Bauzeiten auch Lärm durch die Bar und Küche...

"Beautiful boutique property. So private in the rainforest with a beautiful beach where we didn’t see a single person all day. The staff is wonderful and the food was delicious. They do a 3 course meal every night for dinner and a lovely breakfast every morning. The staff’s little surprises throughout our stay made it special, such as filling our tub with flower petals while we were on an excursion or setting up a private breakfast by the beach one morning.
