We had an amazing stay! Clean room, yummy restaurant, lovely beach accessible, cool pool, stunning views, crazy monkeys for entertainment, and market available with snacks and essentials. We arrived to a gift of wine in our room, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. With the gated entrance, we felt very safe, but the whole area seemed safe and walkable (if you can do those steep inclines!). We’d love to stay again!

Room was clean although not as nice as expected for the price but completely understandable as the value was in the view. Staff was amazing, everyone genuinely seemed to appreciate that we were there and were always attentive and responsive. The hotel location was excellent with restaurants, shops and the marina close by and of course the country was amazing.

Clean rooms and grounds. Friendly staff. Good food. Wash cloths we could have been appreciated, but we saw this at another place, maybe they don't use them? The view from our room was beautiful! And we loved the monkeys every morning on our bAlcony. But watch your things! The walk to the beach is not the easiest but we did enjoy the beach. The pools, restaurant, bar and staff are great.its on a very steep hill so beware of that but staff will golf cart you up and down if desired.

Overall enjoyed our stay. Property is on a steep hill, which I enjoyed but may not be suitable for everyone. + Bed was comfortable, AC worked great and was quiet, balcony had a nice view, shower had good pressure, room was clean, pool looked nice but not really a pool person, free parking = Breakfast food was okay, staff were nice, no elevators to upper floor - Monkeys stealing food at breakfast (fun the first time and the staff does a good job at trying to scare them off), shower drain was really loud, bathroom was mostly clean but possibly in the middle of a remodel, walk to "Hidden Beach" was charming but the beach itself was covered in beach chairs for sell and loud music at 8am in the morning.

The property has tight parking. My son was playing in the pool and got cut in his foot. The staff "examined" the pool and found nothing. Rooms were ok. There is a small pathway that takes you to a beach. The beach was a bit rocky so it wasn't as pleasant to play in for kids.
