Great resort. Would suggest better lighting in the sink area.
Adriane, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice resort. Staff was very friendly, the grounds are clean, easy parking and the pools are great. We loved the rooms with the hammock. The things we weren't crazy about was we didnt realize the beach wasnt part of the resort and its public meaning locals can use the lounge chairs provided by the hotel and you cant sit there without being harassed by people trying to get you to buy a service (massages, boat tours etc). The other thing is I wish they offered some kind of resort entertainment during the day or night since there isnt much to do in the area except for coco beach which we didnt feel safe going at night.
Melissa, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The property is beautiful and built exclusively by and for the environment it is in. Only one complaint: their room cleaning team is lacking.
Victoria, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

The place is nice only for elaxing. If you have children, this is not the place. Is nothing to do. They don't have any activities. There is nothing to do at night. They ahave the same menu every day. There is not a variety of foods. You need to either rent car or pay Uber which is super expensive. Also pay a lot of money for excursions every day.
