Overall nice hotel to stay. Just 1 min away from the entrance of the National Park. Safe, walkable to restaurants. Its built on top of a hill so there is a steep walkway to get to the hotel rooms but they have golf carts that can transport you up and down. The pool is nice. All rooms have direct view of the ocean. and since its on a hill, the view is very beautiful and amazing sunsets can be seen directly from your room. As the name suggests, its built using the containers and so the rooms are elongated rectangles, not sufficient room to move inside the rooms, but thats not a problem. The service is good. Staff is great. For the breakfast they start at 7 only. Even if you go early and the staff is available in the restaurant they will not take your order, they will ask you to sit down and then at 7 they will distribute the food menu, then bring coffee and then take your orders. If you are in a hurry then pre-order the breakfast the day/night before. With that you can get the breakfast earlier and you can go for your tour etc. The parking is a bit challenging. You can see monkeys and the birds right from your hotel room as its surrounded by thick vegetation. So thats a plus! Look around the trees early morning and you will spot monkeys. Nice hotel to stay!

Spotless room on the highest floor, so no noise from the restaurant. Beautiful pool and lovely terrace restaurant. Was a little overwhelming arriving into the town, being harassed by people wanting you to park in their area, but once at the hotel we were treated very well. Easy walk to the beach, but preferred to stay at the hotel with no vendors bothering us.

The staff was great, very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and was accurately depicted in the online photos. Resturant had good food and the wait staff was awesome. Location very well situated to many different ideal destinations and the wildlife we saw just from our room and the restaurant was amazing. We would definitely return to the property if visiting the area again. I would say the only negative was a person name Justin that sat outside the gate and was constantly trying to pressure you to visit the coffee shop and souvenir store just outside the property. He apparently works for the hotel but was not a good reflection of the hotel. He was constantly trying to get you to buy things, was a little inappropriate with some things he was saying. He gave that used car salesman/hustler type impression that was over the top, frustrating and disappointing all at once.
