GoodJan 20207.0
The area is amazing. There are a number of beautiful frogs, birds, and animals around the property, and even a sloth when we were there. It's very close to a wonderful waterfall. Breakfast is decent without being amazing. At least there are a few options.
Honestly it looks very modern on the pictures, but the construction is everything but detail oriented. The rooms smells a lot of humidity and it gets all wet as soon as you take a shower. The rooms are really little. It is overpriced for what you get.

Really beautiful architecture with gorgeous landscape, many birds and other animals. The restaurant is excellent. A far cry above other meals we have had in this country. Everything tastefully done.

There was so much good to say. The checkin and checkout processes were very efficient and smooth. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The breakfast was excellent. The views were very good and there were all sorts of birds we were able to see in the morning. I only wish we could have stayed here longer.

Staff was very helpful with arranging day trips, yoga, spa, etc. We also loved the nature and animals on property (sloth, frogs, etc.)
Rooms were somewhat small.

MediocreDec 20194.0
Breakfast is okay and staff friendly.
The rooms are not very clean and smell musty. We changed rooms after the first night since it rained into our room but it was not any better in the other one. The high price is not reasonable at all for what you get. We were unsatisfied with this hotel and disapppointed.
