Very relaxed place, slightly older crowd, people are here for peace and quiet. There is a private beach better than those over-rated beaches at Playa Coco and and Playa Hermosa. There is a good pool and pool bar. Howler monkeys move through the trees and you can see them every day. The staff of young people were wonderful and very attentive and accommodating. Sergio, Greddy, the young women at the reception were wonderful. The breakfasts were very good. The food was fine, but it also was fun to go and eat out in nearby Hermosa (5 minute drive by Uber). There is no animation here so it is not ideal for kids. This was fine with us. All in all, a very relaxing and enjoyable place.
