Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers rooms that are a good 5-10 minute walk from pools & beach, with a nice balcony overlooking the parking lot. The service was friendly but lacking in some information. The location is stunning, surrounded by beautiful wildlife and beaches. The dining experience was good despite some logistical issues. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were comfortable with great air conditioning, although a short drive away from the main facilities. The service was incredibly kind and accommodating, aiming to maintain the unspoilt charm of the place. The location was perfect, surrounded by nature and with easy access to Playa Blanca. The dining was okay but could offer more options. Overall, a wonderful experience with a few minor hiccups.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were small and not suitable for families with luggage, but the service was very personalized with staff introducing themselves by name and providing a helpful gesture. The location was beautiful with an abundance of wildlife, although the presence of cigarette smoke was off-putting. The dining experience, while offering a chance to see animals, lacked variety in vegetarian options.
My stay at the hotel was comfortable and enjoyable. The rooms, while in need of modernization, had a nice swimming pool and outside bar area. However, being far from the beach required some extra walking to get there.
