“With its jungle and ocean backdrop near Cocles Beach, this property has potential for nature-loving solo travelers; however, reports of inconsistent service and amenities raise concerns. While the location and social atmosphere are appealing, I'd suggest careful planning and verifying inclusions beforehand. A mixed bag.”
