I had a pleasant stay with some notable highs and lows. The hotel is beautifully set among lush tropical gardens, which adds to the charm. The rooms were spacious with a lovely garden view, but there were issues with mosquitoes and ants that made the experience less comfortable. The service was friendly and accommodating, and I appreciated the helpfulness of the staff throughout my stay. However, the dining experience didn't quite meet my expectations, especially at breakfast.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was fantastic—really calm and well-maintained, which I loved. The room was relatively clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable, plus the shower and toiletries were good. However, the soundproofing was poor, and I could hear my neighbors and even noise from the spa. The service was friendly, yet I found it a bit challenging to get assistance for simple requests, and there were moments that felt a little disorganized. Overall, it was decent but not quite at the standard I would expect from a four-star hotel.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel with clean and spacious rooms that had fantastic amenities. The location is quite peaceful, though a bit of a drive to the park entrance. The staff was friendly and eager to assist, but occasionally a bit too pushy with the menu suggestions. Dining was decent with a great egg station for breakfast, albeit the buffet could have been better. Overall, it was a good value for money.

The rooms were spacious and clean, but unfortunately, I found them a bit noisy and lacking privacy. The dining options left something to be desired, as the buffet dinner was just average. Overall, it’s a decent place, just not without its flaws.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean, but their condition didn't match the deluxe images on the website, and I could hear my neighbors quite clearly. The staff were friendly and welcoming, but the service could be a bit pushy at times. The location was okay, being a bit of a drive to the park entrance, but the facilities were well maintained.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which is located in a peaceful area surrounded by beautiful palm tree gardens. My room was spacious and cozy, providing great comfort. The service could use some improvement as the staff seemed more focused on money rather than service, and there was a mishap with our transportation. Dining was one of the highlights with excellent local food options. Overall, it’s a good spot for a budget traveler, but there are a few areas that need attention.
