Scorpion fell from the roof to the bed
I was very excited to stay at the hotel because of the great reviews. We were provided a cabin and sadly an Alacran fell from the roof onto our bed while we were resting. My husband jumped up before he was stung. The hotel attempted to address the issue by saying these are common creatures especially due to the rain. Upon our insistence they switched our room. Late at night we are moving our items from one room to the next. The second room was better but the whole ordeal was not pleasant. The rest of facilities were solid.

There is no better location on the lake, especially if you rent a waterfront cabana with stairs leading directly into the water! Magical location a few miles out of town for those of us who don’t like noisy bars and street traffic. Attentive, friendly staff. Awesome swimming and views. Functioning AC. Pleasant, reasonably priced restaurant right overlooking the water. Truly a gem of a hotel. The rooms are spacious, simple, yet very clean and architecturally soothing. Elegant simplicity sums it up!

Checking in was seamless and we were greeted most graciously. Our casita, el cocodrillo is gorgeous with a view and terrace on the lagoon. Food, drinks and service are equally on point. We’ll keep coming back.

Nice room, clean. Had one on the lagoon with a small dock with lounge chairs, very nice. Pool and jacuzzi are nothing much and rarely used by anyone. Restaurant food is poor, and main concierge was useless.

The location on the lake is stunning, although manage your lake view from rooms as it’s very obstructed by trees (which are beautiful and osprey land on them). Getting to/from the hotel is only feasible by car, with a barking dog patrolling the outside road, if you do try and walk. The outdoor communal areas were not the most comfortable to and relax in

The hotel is quiet, and the setting is very relaxing. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Although the mattress was a bit hard. The gardens are beautiful and well-maintained. If you are reserving with Expedia, make sure to call the property to check if your lagoon view room is downstairs or upstairs. The downstairs ones have their own private mini-deck.
