Outstanding resort and location
We absolutely loved it. It was about half-full. The service was top-notch. There were plenty of excursion options and they were handled directly with us after we arrived. The food was delicious and the beach was perfect. We loved surfing, hanging at the beach, and the pools.

Excellent location, very friendly staff, phenomenal access to endless and varied activities on, slightly off or very near the property… beachside spa like you’ve never seen, macaws everywhere, monkeys, sea turtles, ziplines and incredible sunsets. Staff is extremely friendly but sometimes very slow. Food is either a hit or way off. Several dishes soaked in soy sauce. Lamb chops excellent one night then tiny and overcooked a few nights later. The villa needed some basic upkeep… hot water m, toilet, electric, sliders… like it hasn’t been used in months. The grounds are well kept and teeming with the parrots, monkeys and other beautiful wildlife. Be absolutely sure to book a massage at Equillibrium Spa on the beach. Heaven !

Lovely place but not really a beach resort
Food was so good I'd return just for that. Room was missing anything other than the bed to sit on, and no desk space or place for computer--not optional these days. It's the best place I know of to see the magnificent red macaws. It has a beach but it's not really swimmable. There are two pools but they are both quite shallow--not suitable for lap swimming.

We really loved this property! It was a journey to get to on a very long bumpy dirt road but worth it. The room was great with a small jacuzzi overlooking the ocean. We enjoyed the pool and pool bar, had a nice dinner at sunset and the beach club area was a big bonus. We were only here one night, but I would def stay here again.

The resort is very nice and relaxing. Amazing view. The food was a 5/10, the restaurant and bar by the beach was so much better than the restaurant and bar by the main entrance. They offer free and paid for activities to guest through the resort but the staff didn’t give good descriptions on those activities, the activities we chose (Horseback riding, kayaking, zip lining) all of which cost were very boring and they don’t tell you the cancellation policy before they commit you which should be required. Over all it was a 6/10 .

Very quiet, many activities offered at the hotel location, such as nature hikes, zip lining, with very knowledgeable guides. We had a wonderful time relaxing at the pool or the private hotel beach and especially enjoyed peaceful atmosphere in a very private setting.

If you've ever wondered what paradise is like, this is it! Aside from the absolutely stunning scenery, the staff is absolutely AMAZING! EVERYONE is willing to help out at all times - if they see you waiting for the shuttle and it hasn't come in a few minutes, they will call it for you - regardless of whether they are on the cleaning staff, a manager, or a bartender. I have only two "complaints" which are completely #FirstWorldProblems - 1) the minimal shower water pressure and 2) the spotty / inconsistent WIFI coverage at the villas - which could be a good thing if your goal is total relaxation. You're so close to nature here - from being awakened by the howler monkey, going to sleep listening to the ocean swell, and singing with the birds midday. temperatures are not so hot, but very humid. I can't rave enough about this property - a best kept secret! But don't take my word for it...check it out for yourself.

The property is like an average 3* hotel. It’s such a disappointment compared to the other hotel el mangrove which is wonderful and completely spot on. The pool and beach are amazing. The views are also cool. The rooms are dated, dirty and in need of a makeover - more like 2* rooms. The tiles have grime and are gross. We had so many dead spiders and flies dotted around our room. The staff are either awesome or not bothered. We experienced either very helpful people, or 30 minute waits for a drink. The drivers were really lovely. The amenities are shocking. The shuttle bus is irregular and just shoddy - ripped seats and just dirty. The gym is a whole new level of awful - the machines are dangerous and just in super bad condition. The reception isn’t very helpful either. Really recommend skipping this hotel and going to el mangroove instead.

Property is beautiful and staff is great. Location is remote and best to drive an SUV with 4 wheel drive to get to property...we didn't and had a flat tire and trouble getting up several hills on the dirt gravel roads required to traverse to get to the property. Beach and surf are awesome. Beach cabanas are great. Had a few glitches with the jacuzzi leaking so worked intermittently. Biggest issues were the restaurant menus. Too much "Asian Fusion?" in everything....Ended up going to local restaurants for local food....rice, beans, fish, steak etc
