Lovely hotel!

Really nice hotel close to everything yet feels tucked away from the hustle and bustle thanks to the tropical courtyard. Room was clean and comfortable and staff were very accommodating. Some loud music from the hostel nearby but this finished by midnight so didn’t affect our stay. Would stay here again!

Nice, but noisy.

Beautiful property, but anything but tranquil. Not the hotel's fault, just the downtown location and nearby party bars. Lush, jungle setting. Great rooms, clean, great service, nice pool, good breakfast.

Pros: the staff, location, food, rooms Cons: TV, Mini Fridge I want to start by saying the staff is very accommodating, kind and multilingual if your Spanish still needs some work. This place is awesome. The property is a hidden gem you would never be able to guess that it looks like it does on the inside. The environmental fee is 66 pesos and it must be paid in cash. I didn't personally see this mentioned anywhere while booking but the front desk informed me and were very kind about it. If you are traveling here pack extra towels and washcloths, they do have towels available for rental for the pool but if you do not want that option please pack your own. You may not bring the towels out of the room and to the poolside. The room was open and comfortable. There was so much air and natural light coming in. We could see coconut trees outside of our window. There is noise from the party scene down the street at night but it didn't bother our family. If you are a light sleeper it may bother you. The TV was pretty small and way up high. It did not have any streaming capabilities or the ability to cast your phone to the TV either. There is a mini fridge in the room but it doesn't actually get anything cold. There is no microwave to reheat anything you had anyway. Breakfast was absolutely delicious nothing but good things to say there. We would absolutely stay here again.

Extremely noisy. Near the hotel, there were several music bars and party places and it didn't stop all night. The shower pressure was really weak. However everybody in hotel was really nice and the interior was stunning.

Experiencia recomendable

El hotel está convenientemente ubicado a sólo unas cuadras de restaurantes, bares y el palacio municipal. Las habitaciones son confortables pero el baño un poco pequeño para mi gusto. A diferencia de otros hoteles en la zona, éste sí cuenta con estacionamiento. El personal fue amable e incluso nos ofrecieron el uso de las instalaciones después de hacer check-out

Hotel has an overall exclusive boutique hotel feel and atmosphere. Love the lush gardens everywhere u look and the beautiful pool with water features. Also like the hammocks and small personal patio areas outside every room. Only problem i disliked was getting a room w a kitchenette with no functional fridge but the problem was corrected. Staff very friendly and helpful.my family and I had a great stay! Thank you!

The hotel is very nice, great location, very beautiful garden, safe, convenient parking. The room was nice, comfortable, spacious and clean, however, the bathroom was very small, without ventilation, water pressure was low. Don't bother to buy their breakfast, it is the same basic stuff every single day, and coffee was like water. Please charge a few more bucks, provide some decent coffee, and add some eggs and cheese. The staff at the breakfast are were not friendly, they made us feel very unwelcome, on the last day I asked for some more milk for my coffee, and I was told there is an extra charge for this! Overall, very nice hotel, but will not come back, because of the breakfast staff attitude.
