We love this place! We had a nice water front cabana, with a terrace and dock. It was very nice and clean, bed was comfortable with a separate sitting area, spacious bathroom, mini bar (with complimentary coffee and tea) shelves for your belongings. Property grounds were well kept, surrounded with plants and trees. They have a pool and jacuzzi which is nice, however, depending on the time of day or the number of guests they have it can be a little too crowded. The restaurant was right on the water so you have a fantastic view of the lagoon. The food were delicious. We had all kinds of tacos (our favorite was the conchinita pibil and pulpo), the cheese empanadas were also tasty and fresh. The burger was great, too. I enjoyed drinking their mojitos and piñacolada. For breakfast, they have a few options. They also served dofferent konds of bread. However, I do find their coffee served during breakfast watery. Generally, Staff were very helfpul and friendly especially Willy (restaurant staff) and Santos (boat operator). I felt that the servers during breakfast were not as attentive compared to other servers during dinner time (e.g they only go around once to ask you if you would like more bread served, or coffee and tea). Service can definitely be improved on. We also did the lagoon tour 2x (1 private and 1 with other guests), both tomes were awesome! We liked Santos, the boat driver. He’s funny, easy going and friendly. The massagd was amazing! We will be back!

The accommodations, cleanliness and staff are very nice. The lagoon was calm when we visited and it was fun to use the kayaks and the boat tour of the lagoon originating right from the little pier at the hotel was exemplary. The only thing that was a bit annoying was the loud sound of leaf blowers to disturb the calm of this lovely resort so maybe not doing that every day would be so much better or hand raking…

Unfortunately, I messed the booking up so we ended up in garden rooms rather than the lagoon rooms which meant we didnt get the experience we were hoping for. Staff very friendly and helpful, and great location plus free use of kayaks etc. Maybe not as much access to swings, hammocks, etc as we'd thought, and noticeable road noise; but, again, we were expecting to have dedicated seating and lagoon access. Marginal price difference between rooms so go for lagoon cottages. Hotel automatically adds service charge even if you leave staff a tip which is a bit naughty.
