Refreshing Pools

The main pool area was fantastic! I loved relaxing in the warm water, especially after a hot day exploring. The presence of a wet bar at the pool added to my enjoyment, making it a perfect place to unwind.

My experience at this hotel was a mixed bag. While the location offered some charm with its jungle vibes and proximity to the beach, the air conditioning issues spoiled our stay. The service was decent, but I was left unsatisfied due to the frustrating room conditions. Overall, it's a place that could shine with a bit of care and improvement.

While the hotel has potential with its beautiful setting and clean rooms, it feels a bit outdated and could use some renovations. The staff, particularly in housekeeping, were friendly and helpful, but some other team members could benefit from better training. The dining options were okay, but there are improvements needed. Overall, if you're looking for a quiet escape surrounded by nature, it has its charms, but it's not without its flaws.
