8/10 Very good

Great place and incredibly friendly staff. Amazing location. Less than 5 min to the beach and 2 min to the national park. The hotel has seen its best days (it’s a bit worn) but it was still clean and nice. Amazing pool and restaurant with a breathtaking view of the ocean. Monkeys came to visit several times and some other guests had even seen a sloth from the pool. Would recommend!

Great stay
This was different. Hotel made with old containers but it works. Sound proofing between walls was thin. But 2 nights was fine. Stay on the top floor. Best view. steep hill to climb. Not for someone with any knee or hip issues.

Cute hotel and good pool. Lots of stairs but they will drive you up if needed. I would stay here again
Nichole, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Noisy stay
We stayed in a room below the restaurant and woke up each morning latest at 6.30 because they were moving the furniture. In the evening there was noise until 21-22.00. Food was tasty and the restaurant staff is nice. We booked an ATV tour from reception but they did not confirm it with the tour company. They did not come to pick us up and we wasted 1 day. We asked for refund of 1 day but did not receive it. Better to book tours online. Guests are feeding wild monkeys with pancakes and cookies and the staff allows it. The tiles at the bottom of the pool are coming off. Good location close to park and nice sea view.
