Bien, pero con matices .
Pros:

La ubicación y la cama, la comida normalita. Personal puede ser más amable en general.

Cons:

Luces fundidas en la habitación . Además luz blanca , la luz blanca para los hospitales no para un hotel . Presion del agua bajísima . No tenía el vaso la cafetera puesto no pudimos hacer café. El ascensor estaba roto prácticamente toda la estancia y los cristales del ascensor muy sucios . Todo esto para el dineral que pagamos no me parece de recibo.

Tökéletes!
Pros:

Elképesztő környezetben van, körbeöleli a hotelt a dzsungel, minden reggel a dzsungel állatainak hangjára ébredtünk, ez egy olyan dolog amire életem végéig emlékezni fogok. Rengeteg egzotikus állat mászkál a hotel területén, itt láttunk először tukánt is. A szobák picit régebbiek de egyáltalán nem zavaró, sőt a kilátás az óceánra mindent kárpótolt. Kedves személyzet, bőséges és finom reggeli. Az óceánpart 5 perc séta és hihetetlenül gyönyörű látvány. Nehéz szavakba önteni azt amit itt tapasztaltunk, pedig összesen csak 3 éjszakát töltöttünk itt (bár dupla ennyi lett volna, utólag tovább maradnánk) minden fantasztikus volt, minden egyes nap visszavágyok ide.

Cons:

A véleményeket olvasva sokan panaszkodtak az emelkedő miatt, minket egyáltalán nem zavart mert az egész család fit és fiatal, kifulladva de simán meg tudtuk mászni, bár egy idősebb embernek nagyon megterhelő lehet feljutni, de ez szerintem egy nagyon apró probléma.

Pros:

La vista desde la habitación

Cons:

La pendiente hasta las habitación es muy pronunciada , pero te suben y bajan en un carrito todas la veces que necesites, los chicos que conducian fueron excelentes, muy dispuestos a ayudar en todo momento al igual que los de recepción

Pros:

Fijne ruime kamer met ruime badkamer en goede douche.
Goede locatie vlakbij het NP en op 5 min lopen van een leuk strand

Cons:

Het is echt een hele klim om bij de eerste lift te komen.
Het ontbijt is wat chaotisch, je kan al zeker 20 min zitten voordat ze je überhaupt zien.

Excelente
Pros:

La ubicación perfecta para el parque y la playa. Hermosa propiedad rodeada de naturaleza, los animales que se ven en la instalaciones. El personal muy amable y profesional. Buen desayuno. Si bien hay que subir varios escalones para llegar al alojamiento posee excelentes vistas y lo vale viendo los atardeceres.
