We stayed on the beach side of the hotel. Property grounds were gorgeous and filled with wildlife. We skipped the national park entirely as we saw sloths, capuchin monkeys, squirrel monkeys, agoutis, scarlet mccaws, iguanas, and a ton of butterflies right at the hotel on a daily basis.. Restaurant was on the expensive side but very convenient and beach dining was a plus. The only downside is that you can hear a lot of noise from other rooms like doors slamming due to the marble floors and wood ceilings, but we got used to it. We will definitely be staying here again!
