We really loved our stay here ....The staff were amazing...the area was clean and very quite ... nice beach area....If you stay here I suggest you rent a car as it is not near shopping or other restaurants so need a car to go to shopping and dining areas like playa hermosa .

The only option available for us was a family style room. It was spacious in that there were two queen beds and a sitting area. Our patio was completely secluded due to the trees in front. The property itself is so beautifully landscaped. Your stress will melt away! The staff is friendly and accomodating. I asked for an iron and one was delivered promptly, though they weren't sure if there were any. It was away from the town area and anything you do away from there will cost a grip to get to. Perfect getaway for a couple!

Great spot on the beach

The room is spotless and very comfortable. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The gardens were simply amazing. The property itself is a little dated, but nothing was lacking. Lovely stay right on the beach. Accommodating our vegan dietary needs.

Beautiful resort. Private beach front. The staff was amazing and friendly, top notch service. There are several nice beaches nearby. No restaurants close by, the food at the resort is fine, but a pretty limited menu. This is the perfect place for a quiet get away, lots of nature, not a long drive to el recon de la vieja volcano which is amazing. It was very clean, we would return.

We spent 6 nights at this hotel and it was a lovely stay. The room was large and very clean. The hotel grounds were well maintained and surrounded by nature. The pool.was great and there was a very nice hammock and fire pit area for relaxing. There were not many guests during our stay so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Lastly, the staff were wonderful, especially Andrea in the restaurant who was just a lovely lady who took great care of us.

Overall a nice property although the food is overpriced and breakfast was lackluster, the staff were very kind and fun to talk to. Beach nearby wasn't the best the area has to offer. I would limit my stay to 1 night here next time instead of 3.
