This resort is superb. The staff’s hospitality is top notch. I loved the views and especially the wildlife. there are sloths and monkeys on the property. This is a family friendly resort but it has an adult only area.

Sonya United States of America

This is a well kept, secure property at an excellent location. Staff is very friendly. We loved the views from our suites and the restaurants. Antonio was an excellent waiter who took great care of us at the second floor restaurant. You can also see monkeys jumping around in trees right from the sidewalk of the property.😁

Shailesh United States of America

The location of the resort was unbelievable. We saw monkeys, sloths, macaws and other parrots during a two night stay. Fantastic scenic views of the ocean and jungle while eating a meal or relaxing in the pool. The food was exquisite and the staff went out of their way to help. It was an amazing experience.

Nathan United States of America

The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable.
