Great location

Pros: Great location. Good view from the pool and restaurant. You could watch the sunset from the terrace bar. It's amazing.

Cons: Pool could be cleaned more often as it is among tropical trees, you often get leaves and other bits falls in.

Overall a great stay with amazing staff

Pros: Staff were great. Particularly Daniela our concierge and Clarence, who was an amazing guide. Staff couldn’t do enough for you. Restaurant food was very good and staff were excellent/lovely. Good cocktails too. Room was clean and comfortable, especially the bed. Setting was amazing. Walter the driver of the shuttle service is brilliant. Liked the choice of products for the room, welcome drink and departing lunch bag.

Cons: Room need a bit of modernisation. Despite being advertised as adults only - we were surprised to see children: one dinner there were 2 very young children eating in the restaurant- one child was standing on the chair and crying at 8 o’clock in the evening - not what we expected!

Relaxing

Pros: The breakfast and sushi was great The staff are attentive Beautiful grounds and the free macaw hike was a bonus

Cons: Whilst there was a shuttle until 4 pm it would have been good to have act so could explore more food options . Whilst the other restaurants are not far away there are no paths so cannot walk safely at night
