Scales, steps, inclines and distances beach, restaurant, room

Hotel grounds are a lush tropical rain forest alive with wildlife. It was easy to wander around an see monkeys in the trees, iguanas, tropical birds. The staff were very friendly and prompt in replying to service requests. We were in a bungalow and had a gorgeous view overlooking the rainforest and bay.

The town was small and had limited restaurant options, most of which were overrun by and geared towards tourists.

The room and gardens were lovely. We saw amazing wildlife here including three types of monkeys, numerous birds and a lot of sloths, both wild and some being looked after by the sloth institute which is based here. The beach is beautiful and the staff there were fantastic, very friendly and helpful but not overbearing. Late every afternoon we would go there for a swim and then sit with Vernie the iguana watching the pelicans until the sun set.

Would have liked a blind on our front door. More than once, we were woken by some-one shining a torch on it as they came down the path. We also had construction noise start on the morning we were leaving for the last couple of hours we had there.

The resort staff went above and beyond to make sure that the communication was excellent. They assigned a personal concierge who was available 24 hours of the day. We texted spontaneously in order to make sure that my needs were met. I would definitely stay there again!

Great views, many pools and good food. Having the private beach was a huge deal!
