Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests frequently highlight the exceptionally spacious rooms, often featuring balconies with forest views, and well-equipped kitchenettes. The hotel's common areas and pool area are described as comfortable and great for swimming, immersed in or overlooking lush greenery, with opportunities to spot local wildlife like monkeys and toucans. Breakfast is consistently praised for being fresh, tasty, and offering varied menu options. While the hotel is generally well-regarded, some guests have noted that the floor in the rooms can occasionally be dusty and that noise from the dining area can be heard early in the morning.
