Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! Nestled in the lush tropical garden, the location was a perfect blend of being in the rainforest yet also just a stone's throw away from the stunning Cocles beach. The atmosphere was both vibrant for those seeking nightlife and peaceful for a good night's sleep. The service was exceptional, making me feel truly pampered. However, the dining experience left something to be desired as the options were limited to sausages. Overall, a great value for money!
I couldn't have asked for a better location, being right on the beach and surrounded by lush tropical gardens. The rooms were the perfect retreat, set in a stunning tropical garden and offering a serene escape. Additionally, the friendly service made my stay even more enjoyable. However, the dining options were limited, and the price didn't fully match the value received.
The hotel is nestled in a tropical garden, offering a serene ambiance. The rooms provide a cozy and tranquil retreat, although the service could be more attentive. Its location near the beautiful Cocles Beach is a major highlight, making it convenient for beach lovers. The dining experience, with American-inspired dishes, was satisfactory. The facilities are decent, but there is room for improvement.
The hotel is ideally situated in the heart of the rainforest, just a stone's throw away from the beach. The rooms are set amidst a lush tropical garden providing a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The service is top-notch, making you feel right at home. However, the dining options, especially the salads, left something to be desired. The facilities are modern and well-kept, offering a comfortable stay at a good value for money.
I found this hotel in a prime location, with easy access to the beach and a variety of dining options nearby. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, particularly with the limited breakfast choices. On the bright side, the pool area was well-kept and pleasant. The pricing was fair, but it would have been better if Wi-Fi were included instead of requiring an additional fee.
