Hidden Gem, don’t hesitate to book
Found this Gem last minute and wish we would have stayed longer. Amazing staff, rooms were stylish and comfortable, and excellent breakfast in the morning. Monkeys in the mango trees were fun to observe. Highly recommend!!

Macaw's, monkeys, great service and a view.
We had an amazing stay. The staff was very friendly, including the owner Aamit, who is passionate about service. The pool bar was a fun place to start. The restaurant and food was terrific. If possible try to stay on Friday for the soulful band. The view was great and the rooms were peaceful. The beds were very comfortable. We saw Macaws from the balcony of our very large room, and monkeys every day at about 4 pm. Enjoy. We would definately go back.

Stay Here! Eat here!
Beautiful, modern hotel. We loved the views, the bed was so comfortable, the pool and poolside bar was great. We loved the restaurant and felt the prices were fair. The best part, though, was the staff! Scarlet made the best drinks! Tracy and Bryan were fantastic servers. The food was fantastic!

Large room, nice restaurant if u can get a table.
They need to accomodate all their guests in the dining room with a few more smaller tables, especially if their is a band. Arrived for dinner to see several empty tables that said "reserved" and tables for ten with three people.

Pleasantly Surprised
We saw the resort on our way south. It looked interesting so we checked it out online. We drove back to the and booked one of the last available room. The whole resort has been expanded and renovated. It has an infinity pool overlooking the ocean with a full-service poolside bar. The restaurant serves a wide variety of food with an excellent selection of seafood. Dinner is served inside with excellent views or on an elevated deck designed to take full advantage of the sunset. Service was enthusiastic and professional. We couldn't be happier with our choice.
