We were not able to stay at the resort. The location on the map is incorrect and the resort is not 8 minutes from the airport (it is more like an hour) Communication with the resort was attempted several times in several different ways and none were successful. A response came from the resort at 9:27 pm , much too late. We had to secure lodging else where. The physical location on the map is not a resort.

Loved the all inclusive part of having all food included including coffee delivered to Room at 7:15. Ok that had to walk to main hotel for wifi. Loved remote and privacy of the 42 Cabins and long path that you had to walk. Wonderful outdoor patio. Bike rental convenient ride to awesome Konulich Ruins in gorgeous jungle better than other nearby ruins. Pool nice. Night time activity for lake paddle just ok. Daytime kayak trip to a Balacar better. Awesome food. Nice open bar. Saw a monkey and many birds on property. Would come back!

Gorgeous hotel and setting - the staff was really professional yet so friendly and helpful. The excursions seemed well thought out and were very enjoyable. The room was beautiful, 1/2 of a large palapa with a lovely outside seating area, and the bed was very comfortable. I liked the all inclusive concept with the self service bar as well, and the food quality was excellent (always two choices for starter, main, and dessert for lunch and dinner, plus a variety of breakfast options). I really liked the intimate feel of the place - a good setting to meet new people but also to be alone if preferred.

I think this hotel is all about the details! The staff is wonderful and the different activities were very well planned and fun! Though there’s not too much around, you can use the hotel bikes and go to the ruins 2km far from the hotel or walk in the jungle in a path designed by the hotel. The pool wasn’t heated which might be refreshing and convenient for the regular sunny days with 35 degrees but we had a couple of cloudy ones (cold front) and weren’t able to use it.

Great experience, just mind your expectations

It's a nice hotel with a different concept. It's a small place in the middle of the jungle with outdoor activities that happens to be a hotel. Once you can get this into your head, you can understand that despite the staff's best effort in cleaning your room, there will always be a rogue bug flying or lurking around. Overall, I loved the experience. Doing the activities, being patly isoltaed, near the jungle. The hotel was clean and functional but it's definitely not an option if you have the highest expectations of a hotel: food is ok, spa is ok, the facilities are decent.
