The hotel overall was great. We enjoyed our stay. The rooms were a little old & plain. We did observe portions of the hotel closed for refurbishing. The breakfast & dinner were excellent. Including entertainment from the monkeys. The staff was wonderful especially Kevin the cart driver. He always seemed to be present when needed.

Everything about this place was great. The views, the monkeys and toucans we could see from our balcony, the sloths down the beach, the golf cart and breakfast, and even the bottles of water for the road when we checked out

Small resort. Employees were ALL extremely nice & helpful! The beach access is not convenient! The rooms could use updating; furniture, lighting, & bathroom. "No toilet paper" in the toilet took some getting used to!
