Do not hesitate. The property is absolutely outstanding. Well appointed room, amazing bedding, extraordinarily helpful and pleasant staff, amazing views from the room, the restaurant, and the lounge (perfect for sunsets). Toucans, macaws, iguanas inhabit the property as well. Every concern is catered to. The highest possible recommendation!

Nice views. Terrible food, poor service in the dining areas. The reserve walk was nice, but not up to expectations. The shuttle only runs from 8-4. Not safe to walk anywhere but you can take a taxi into town for $10

My room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. It was supposed to have an ocean view but really did not have even a partial ocean view. Aside from that everything was excellent, service was great, breakfast and dinner in the restaurant were delicious, and the view from the pool was lovely. We had nice treatments from the spa as well. I enjoyed the birds on the property and especially appreciated the Scarlet macaw and rehabilitation program and reserve on the property.
