    The location is close to the beach and restaurants but within enough distance to be quiet and peaceful. The room was gorgeous and we loved the food at both restaurants! The staff was so kind and accommodating! We also loved that we could take yoga...

    This was one of the most special places I have ever stayed in my life. It is GORGEOUS, in the middle of the jungle, with the NICEST staff ever. Very quiet, peaceful, clean, and romantic. And the food at the hotel restaurant(s) was amazing.
