Disgusting property and lousy management

Filthy property in disrepair. The pool was so dirty you couldn't see anything under the surface of the water. Foundations crumbling and algae all over the pool walls. We refused to stay and the management insists on keeping both nights charges. Wish I would've seen reviews like this before I booked with them

Staff were wonderful (especially the restaurant staff), food was absolutely delicious, and the beach was amazing! The resort itself is wonderful. BUT the shuttle there cost $250 USD (which was a shock) and there's nothing in walking distance. Trying to set up transport through the resort is incredibly expensive ($25USD for the 10 minute drive to the nearest town). Talking to the restaurant staff can get you contact info for local drivers, and the drivers the hotel hires can often be contacted directly if you're friendly with them. The prices are much better that way (in our case, 200 pesos to the town or about 10USD). But really, you need a vehicle to fully explore the area. In short, the property is wonderful, the staff are amazing, the food and the beach are great. If you're just looking for a weekend getaway I highly recommend it. But if you're staying longer or like to explore then make sure you have access to a car.

Great stay, would gladly stay here again.

Friendly staff, excellent service. We thought the restaurant here was very good! The room was comfortable and nice. Not super high end but overall a good value. Great location on the beach, which was quiet and calm when we were there. We did not swim in the pool but it looked nice. We would definitely stay here again.

Loved this place so much! The rooms are small and a little dated and no fridge but since the restaurant on site was so good and fair priced it wasn't much of an issue. The food and drinks are excellent. The beach is empty and peaceful. Water is super safe for swimming. You can even feel the hot spring water in the sand on the shoreline. Amazing. Will for sure stay here again

Our room 36 was old n parts of it dirty n dusty (hasn’t been cleaned properly ie. dusty on the overhead bed board, behind the desk was some small food scraps n dead insects, dust bunnies.)

The property is on a natural hot spring so warm water is always available. The restaurant has very good food and speciality taco tuesdays and barBQ night Thursdays. They are in the process of renovating and upgrading the rooms but it is a very cute and quaint older resort that should keep its amazing feel but work in the need repairs to allow it to use all of its rooms and facilities.

Hidden Gem, tons of potential

The place has a ton of potential! Is it 5*, no. It is beautiful in its own accord, absolutely! They have some work to do and they are working on it. The pool is amazing! The hot tub is great (watch the filling times for heat dont get burnt!) The staff is top notch. Super friendly and helpful. They will go out of thier way to help if they can. The place has character, the parts that are operational are great. The forage is pretty, the property is small and cozy. The beach is vast and beautiful but they need come beach loungers. The food is excellent albiet a bit pricey. The beds are okay, if you like a hard bed you'll love it. The wifi is very slow! You'll need to rely on your cell data or go with out interent during your stay. An amazing location and although not perfetc, higly recommend, especially if you get a good price on the room.
