Petit paradis
Pros:

L'emplacement est idéal et le personnel très accueillant, à l'écoute et très réactif. Les pizzas du restaurant sont excellentes ! Les cocktails pris dans la piscine éclairée le soir....Et surtout les petits singes qui viennent pour manger les noix de coco et vous réveiller très tôt en sautant des cocotiers devant la chambre à la toiture de la chambre, spectacle inoubliable!

Cons:

Rien si ce n'est le vacarme des singes le matin trop tôt mais c'est tellement chouette ensuite de les voir s'amuser qu'on oublie vite

Excellent
Pros:

Breakfast was incredible, everything fresh. The fruit, the juices, no powdered eggs here, fresh made omelettes to order. Incredible drinks at tiki bar.
The grounds are beautiful. Love it!!!

Cons:

King mattress could have been better. Any movement made a motion for the other person.

Situation idéale au calme et très bel hôtel
Pros:

Très joli hôtel à taille humaine, au calme, situé à 2 minutes de la plage et 3 minutes de l'entrée du parc. Très bon accueil, personnel super sympa, joli coin piscine et bar, pizzas au feu de bois pour un petit creux. Nous avons logé dans la suite master qui était magnifique ! Un gros plus pour la vue sur la nature !

Cons:

Le seul tout petit bémol est le petit déjeuner qui pourrait être un peu plus fourni mais sinon, vraiment un magnifique endroit pour séjourner.

a great relaxing place with staff that made it feel like home in an exotic location
Pros:

good choice for breakfast- with fresh fruit - traditional Huevos Rancheros. with on 200m from beach and 500m from the National Park it was great. There were 7 restaurants within minutes walk.

Cons:

wider choice for lunch other than Pizza which was very good but some accompaniments would have good such as Garlic Bread or salad
