The property is beautiful, staff are amazing BUT the thermostat in our room was not working. It was 38C outside, our room temp was at 24C.We tried to change it to 21C and the temperature never changed. The front desk told us that the rooms will never be at 21C.OK, but the annoying part is that they had the front desk and lobby at 20C. Only complaint.

Easily the most beautiful view of Playa Danta. If there is a better view of the sunset, I haven't seen it yet. The staff are overly friendly and eager to make your stay as special as you want it to be. definitely coming back!
