Real Caribbean forest and sea
Pros:

This is a hotel with a restaurant, which is very convenient if you don't want to go anywhere in the evening. The food is just super. After 5 years of living in Vietnam, I can say that they cook shrimp better here. Also I can advise you to try the lobster.

The location is 2 minutes from the sea on foot. The beach is awesome. Real Caribbean.

Unity with nature. We lived in house 13. You just live in the forest. Huge parrots flew over us (like in National Geographic), a capybara ran nearby.

I send my regards to hosts. Pura Vida.

Cons:

It's not about the hotel. It's about "city living snowflakes". You should also understand that the forest also means mosquitoes and spiders. Yes, they are there. I can't give the hotel a minus for this. It's your understanding of where you are going in general.

I also draw the attention of city dwellers and lovers of silence. Have you ever slept in a tropical forest? No? It's not white noise. There are many loud nature sounds. Take earplugs.

Pros:

Room was pretty and smelled good. Very close to the beach, nice restaurant, and Mauro is super nice and welcoming :)

Cons:

There was a giant roach in our room which understandable but i believe the mosquito nets in the windows were broken and there were lots of insects which it would be nicer to know they're out of the room when you're sleeping
