Awesome hotel in great location
Staff very nice and responsive with everything from pointing out the two sloths on the property to giving change to cleaning up water that seeped under door into room from a major downpour. Location was great. Only downside was they were very strict on checkin time.

The rooms and beds were good, and the staff were extremely kind and took time every day to show our kids the sloths that hang out in the trees. Breakfast was great and coffee as well! The one pool was under construction but the other was open and kids had fun despite it being small. Would recommend!

Decent place
The hotel was decent but a few things were not great: pool was closed for repairs, very poor lighting in room, very little furniture in room, forbidden to flush toilet paper down the toilet (!!). But the gardens were nice, breakfast good, beds comfortable, AC good and staff friendly.

The staff were very accommodating and assisted us whenever we asked. The breakfast was well done and the rooms were clean and quiet. The one area that was a bit lacking was the WIFI connection went out regularly.
