Guest reviews
9.0"A truly wonderful hotel"
Gorgeous location, with stunning views and a really magnificent swimming pool. The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, and the whole property was really beautiful, with many thoughtful design touches and lovely pieces of art. The room was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of amenities.
Beautiful property with a nice walking trail also. Food and service were excellent. So relaxing. The pool area was awesome. Great location also. The Toucans were also fun to watch on the property. Close to Marino Ballena Park (whales tail) which was very nice to visit.
