We arrived approximately one hour prior to the scheduled check in time. The staff at the front desk were courteous and spoke to us in English as our Spanish is far from good. The staff let us know that our room was ready and then walked us to our room and opened the door for us. The pool was amazingly warm and clean. The breakfast was excellent and the staff serving were very nice and prompt. The rooms were well taken care of. We were even treated to visits from Iguanas and Macaws. My wife and I would stay in this location again.

Rooms were quiet but made of stone which blocks the wifi signal. All guests have to be present on arrival which was not disclosed before booking a non refundable reservation. Lots of children in the pool and jacuzzi so I never could use it.
