Disgusting property and lousy management

Filthy property in disrepair. The pool was so dirty you couldn't see anything under the surface of the water. Foundations crumbling and algae all over the pool walls. We refused to stay and the management insists on keeping both nights charges. Wish I would've seen reviews like this before I booked with them

Staff were wonderful (especially the restaurant staff), food was absolutely delicious, and the beach was amazing! The resort itself is wonderful. BUT the shuttle there cost $250 USD (which was a shock) and there's nothing in walking distance. Trying to set up transport through the resort is incredibly expensive ($25USD for the 10 minute drive to the nearest town). Talking to the restaurant staff can get you contact info for local drivers, and the drivers the hotel hires can often be contacted directly if you're friendly with them. The prices are much better that way (in our case, 200 pesos to the town or about 10USD). But really, you need a vehicle to fully explore the area. In short, the property is wonderful, the staff are amazing, the food and the beach are great. If you're just looking for a weekend getaway I highly recommend it. But if you're staying longer or like to explore then make sure you have access to a car.

Great stay, would gladly stay here again.

Friendly staff, excellent service. We thought the restaurant here was very good! The room was comfortable and nice. Not super high end but overall a good value. Great location on the beach, which was quiet and calm when we were there. We did not swim in the pool but it looked nice. We would definitely stay here again.

Loved this place so much! The rooms are small and a little dated and no fridge but since the restaurant on site was so good and fair priced it wasn't much of an issue. The food and drinks are excellent. The beach is empty and peaceful. Water is super safe for swimming. You can even feel the hot spring water in the sand on the shoreline. Amazing. Will for sure stay here again
