The property was in a good location, looked good, had somewhat decent amenities, but the restaurant hours were horrible (12-6). Coffee maker didn’t work & they did not offer to replace it. We had to go to the hotel next door to eat breakfast & dinner if we were out during the day. There were so many ants in our room & they seemed to be coming in through a couple of small hoes in the wall, it was creepy. There was no staff @ night, so when ppl partied we couldn’t call anyone & I know I’m in a Spanish speaking country, but seemed only one staff member spoke some English & even with translate it was difficult to communicate. Just ask they are transparent about what they offer & any restrictions around that

Good size bedroom

The room was very spacious for our family. A bit dated but in good condition. No cleaning of the room daily. Great reception people. They are so nice and I forgot my dairy and they sent it to me immediately the day after. This was a great PLUS.

Good food and drinks. Fantastis view across from Bird sanctuary. Only warning is they were very firm beds, quite too firm for us but some people prefer it.

The location is great. The small Cabin was unique. The property felt safe and parking in the street was easy. There is air conditioning and light in the cabin but no electrical outlets to charge your phones, iron your clothes, etc. Water in the shower was chilly but then it comes out fresh after a while (only cold water in shower valve). The weather is in the mid-80's, so it is easy to get use to. During check out no one was available until an hour in a half later. They were holding our drivers license and we didn't want to leave it behind. Luckily we refuse to leave our passport as originally requested. Could of been a bad situation if we missed our flight.

Una experiencia muy decepcionante. Elegí este lugar para celebrar mi cumpleaños y terminé pasando días muy desagradables. La habitación en la que me hospedé tenía un olor constante y horrible a drenaje. La estancia incluía una hora de kayak, pero durante toda la visita estuvieron encadenados y nunca pudimos usarlos. Además, mi compañera sufrió un esguince en el pie y, a pesar de que el hotel estaba vacío y había habitaciones disponibles en planta baja, nunca nos ofrecieron un cambio. Para rematar, el último día quisimos disfrutar un rato más de la laguna antes de irnos, y nos negaron el acceso. Muy mala atención, cero disposición para ayudar al huésped. Definitivamente no lo recomiendo.

La propiedad es hermosa y el personal es muy amable. Nos hospedamos por dos noches, pero el día después de nuestra llegada no realizaron la limpieza de la habitación. El personal del hotel solo está disponible de 9:00 a 19:00; después de ese horario, no hay nadie del staff en la propiedad. Afortunadamente, como contratamos un tour, teníamos el número de teléfono de uno de los empleados. La primera noche se fue la luz, pero pudimos notificarlo y lo resolvieron rápidamente. Sin embargo, a la mañana siguiente, a las 7:00 a.m., un “bip bip” constante del aire acondicionado nos despertó. No había nadie que pudiera ayudarnos, por lo que el ruido continuó por aproximadamente una hora, afectando nuestro descanso. El hospedaje incluye 2 toallas grandes, no hay toalla para manos. El asiento del inodoro es más pequeño que la taza del baño, lo que hace que sea muy incómodo al sentarte (te pellizca).
