Pros:

Die Anlage mit dem Pool und der Bar ist sehr schön. Die Lage direkt am Eingang zum NP ist top. Auch am Strand ist man in drei Minuten zu Fuß. Das Personal war super.

Cons:

Das Zimmer hätte für uns zu dritt etwas größer sein können. Zum Duschen hatten wir meist nur kaltes Wasser.

Calme reposant ressourçant
Pros:

Havre de paix. Personnel toujours souriant. A 200 m de la plage et 200m du parc Manuel Antonio. De notre terrasse nous avons pu voir des toucans, singes … et même un paresseux 🦥 .
