“In my opinion, this property features a prime location within the Corales del Rosario National Park, accessible only by boat, that positions it as a tranquil escape and as a family destination. The full-board plan and private beach access are notable advantages; however, some may find certain aspects, such as the drinks, not meeting luxury expectations. For families prioritizing convenience and a curated experience for the kids, this hotel warrants consideration.”
