1/5 - Terrible

Verified traveler

I showed up after in late a full day of travel to get there. I was informed they were overbooked and didn’t have my reserved & paid in full room available for me. I needed to go to their sister property with no AC, no hot water, it was awful.

5/5 - Excellent

The Don Olivo Chocolate tour is fantastic, as is Sky Trek Canyoning!
