Instalaciones geniales, personal no tanto.
Pros:

El entorno es inmejorable y la piscina es genial. El hotel es precioso lleno de vida, hemos visto muchísimos animalitos dentro.

Cons:

El personal del hotel. No recomiendo lavar la ropa allí. Nos han devuelto varias prendas con manchas de lejía, prendas que obviamente ya no sirven. Se lo hemos comentado y al principio se ha disculpado y nos ha dicho que lo iba a comentar con las personas que habían lavado la ropa. Cuando hemos hecho el check out nos han dicho que las manchas ya estaban y seguramente serían manchas de la playa (obviamente es lejía). Ni siquiera ha salido de ellos tener la deferencia de no cobrarnos el servicio de lavandería. Le hemos dicho que no lo íbamos a pagar y aunque no nos han puesto problemas, no esperábamos esa respuesta.

The hotel was expensive, the breakfast is served only until 8.30, the beach near the hotel is an ungly stony beach and not good for swimming

Pros:

Mooi terrein met plm. 10-12 huisjes/kamers. Twee zwembaden (die we vrijwel voor onszelf hadden), national park van Cahuita op 10 minuten loopafstand. Superschone kamer. Lekker ontbijt met vers fruit, toast, omelet. Vriendelijk en behulpzame medewerkers, die ook goed Engels spreken.

Pros:

This property is so precious! There are many places in the garden to sit and relax: hammock swing chairs, pool loungers, and couches and chairs under umbrellas. There is a different breakfast menu each day and they are very generous in their portions. We had a deluxe bungalow and it was beautiful. The air conditioning is ICE COLD! The private patio had a swing chair and a small couch to relax on. The bed was comfortable and the pillows were supportive. There is also a laundry service that we took advantage of that was a super quick turnaround.

Cons:

We came in the off season and the restaurant onsite happened to be closed during our stay. If breakfast was any indication of what dinner would be like, I'm sorry we missed out. This wasn't a huge issue though as there are plenty of delicious restaurants in town. The only other thing I didn't like was I didn't get to meet the two sloths who live on the property.

Pros:

Eine kleine Oase- das Hotel liegt am Rande von Cahuita in wenigen Minuten ist man im National Park. Mit ein paar wenigen Bungalows wirkt es sehr familiär und naturverbunden. Nachmittags gab es gratis Kaffee und auch Wasser zum auffüllen. Das Frühstück war immer sehr lecker.
Das Highlight: direkt über unserem Bungalow lebte eine Faultierfamilie!!

Cons:

Leider war das Restaurant zu und damit gab's leider auch keine Happy hour ;)
Aber gute Restaurants waren in unmittelbarer Nähe.

Fantástico
Pros:

Muy buen hotel. Personal maravilloso y muy atentos en todo. Las habitaciones muy bien, tal cual se ven en las fotos y con todo lo necesario. El desayuno espectacular y las instalaciones muy bonitas y muy bien cuidadas. Andando está a menos de 5' el pueblo y a menos de 10 ' el parque nacional de Cahuita. Nos íbamos a quedar una noche y de lo bien que estábamos nos hemos quedado tres. Un 10.

Cons:

Nada.
