The view from our room was gorgeous. The staff so friendly. Breakfast was conveniently early and good. We had our own car and the property will shuttle you up and down so know that waking between property hot spots (the pool, bar, restaurants) may not be walkable for some.

Out side of rolling blackouts and rooms with no WiFi it was a great hotel with a ton of things to do. The food at dinner was great. The free breakfast was good for free but I would have liked pay food options as well. The same things over and over again get boring.

We loved this property and found it to be better than advertised. Gorgeous views, extremely convenient location, many great activities nearby. Stunning sunset view across the road from the property, people gather there every night for the beautiful show. The restaurant was good. Gift shop well-appointed. Staff was excellent, and went out of their way to help us with some specific requests/questions including arranging transportation. Grounds are beautiful and well-maintained by competent and kind gardeners/grounds-keepers. We saw many coatis on site, birds including two toucan sightings. There are peacocks on site. There were high winds while we were there and the upstairs bedroom/loft was quite noisy so we did not use it for sleeping. The room was well-appointed and very spacious. There are through and through vents so that the air flows from outside, through the room, and into the corridor outside the room - good ventilation. There are sitting areas throughout which promoted socializing and we met some great new friends. The proprety is very hilly but easy to walk for those with good mobility, strength and cardiovascular capacity (one mile uphill to the very top of the property). Note that in the evening the resort is very quiet and dark. Pathways are generally lit well enough to walk in the evening. The hallways and rooms are dimly lit after sundown, so if you need to work (or watercolour paint!) it's best in daylight or bring a small desk lamp. Wonderful. Highly recommend
