Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
My experience at this property was terrible. The temperature regulation for the shower wasn’t working so the water was either extremely hot or cold. We ended up bathing with cold water and caught a flu. The next day was even worse because the water stopped flowing after my hubby took a shower so I couldn’t take a shower before leaving. It was difficult getting through to the attendants to order breakfast and when we eventually did the food took hours to arrive and we had to leave without having breakfast. The staff was unapologetic which I found really rude. The hotel has potentials but definitely lacks proper management.

This is a new property and mostly like a boutique hotel - just 5 geodesic domes (one room to each one). The staff, WHEN there is very attentive, but early morning, until about 9, no one, that we found, was there. we LOVED the location. Not on the beach, but by a pond/sometimes river. The rooms were fantastic. Bed comfortable but the sheets a bit low grade. Overall we would come back.

Wonderful oasis

Charming place! The staff is excellent and highly available to help with anything or answer any questions. Photos are accurate too! (Came here to relax and do some hiking and it was perfect.) My only suggestion is that they provide bottled water (or a jug in a water dispenser) — especially for guests staying for multiple nights. They provided this when asked, just would have been nice if it was in the room by default. Also, the WiFi signal did not reach my room (only got service near reception). Then again, it was kind of nice not to have the distraction of being too connected!

Servicio excelente, sin embargo, el menú que ofrecen no tenía muchas cosas. Por ejemplo pan, platillo decía guacamole, no hay. Todo muy bien, aré cerca si les surtan a los empleados lo necesario para cubrir lo ofertado en el menú. Recomiendo en los cuartos como plus pongan repelente para moscos. Contenta por la visita
