Beautiful Location, Kind Team, but Limited Activity Experience We had a pleasant stay overall. The hotel team was very kind, welcoming, and helpful with our needs, and we truly appreciated the attention and hospitality throughout our visit. Our main disappointment was with the availability and communication regarding the included amenities and lake activities. We checked in at 3:00 PM, but many of the activities included with the stay were already ending around 4:00 PM. We were really looking forward to exploring the lake, taking a ride, and enjoying some of the water activities, but unfortunately, we did not have enough time to experience them. Overall, we enjoyed the property and the kindness of the staff, but we were disappointed that we didn’t have the opportunity to take advantage of the lake and water activities. A later activity schedule or better communication at check-in would make the experience much better for future guests.

Overall, the property was nice. But I will say there was a lot and I repeat a lot of insects spiders, geckos, etc. in my bedroom which I notified the staff about, however they didn’t seem to care and told me that I had left the door open even though I had just checked in and hadn’t been in the room. They didn’t even bother to offer another room. They only went ahead and killed the spiders and bugs. And told me to let them know if I found any other insects, bugs ,spiders, etc.

The hotel was exceptionally clean and truly spotless throughout our stay. Although the property is a bit older, it remains in excellent, well-maintained condition. The rooms were awesome, featuring incredibly comfortable beds and pristine linens. The bathrooms were equally immaculate, highlighted by fantastic water pressure in the shower. The hotel staff was absolutely awesome, delivering excellent, polite, and deeply accommodating service throughout our entire stay. Every team member was incredibly kind and went out of their way to ensure we had the best possible experience. In a truly wonderful gesture, I happened to mention it was my wife’s birthday, and they surprised us by delivering a beautiful birthday cake to our room to help us celebrate her special day. The hotel boasts an exceptional location nestled beautifully on a hillside, making us feel like we were immersed right in the middle of the jungle. Despite the lush, secluded setting, we enjoyed fantastic access to a stunning black sand beachfront. The beach featured a wonderful tidal pool area where the kids had a blast exploring and spotting fish and various types of crabs. Another major highlight was the incredible outdoor pool, which was built with a boulder wall directly into the cliffside. The property even features a fascinating cave to explore; it fills up during high tide but empties out at low tide, allowing us an awesome opportunity to walk inside and see the bats.

The property has some amazing views of the lake. The room we stay was lake view and it was well keep and clean. The pool does need attention on maintaining it clean I understand it’s the raining season but we been at other hotels during the same time period and they do keep them clean. We was charged for 1 menus that got wet, when the staff bought us the menu to the pool I didn’t wanted to argue with them and I just paid it.

La route pour s’y rendre n’est pas commode. Il y a eu une panne d’électricité dès notre arrivée qui a duré tout la première soirée. Le lac est par ailleurs extraordinaire et le quai très chouette. Les installations sont négligées et manquent dentretien. Le personnel est très agréable et serviable. Le resto est honnête. La musique américaine aurait intérêt à être remplacée le matin par de la musique locale et plus relaxe pour le soir.

This place was beautiful and a nice place! The pictures are accurate. But I do have to mention the negatives. 1) I didn’t realize it’s in a farther area of the lake where there’s nothing around it. I would never have walked outside, didn’t look safe as a tourist. So your limited to transportation to get in and out and takes around 20min on a dirt road to exit that area. Theres a more populated touristy area across the lake on the other side. 2) One of the most pathetic things from this hotel, especially with what I mentioned before, they don’t allow us to take in ANY outside food??!?! They wanted to take away my kids cereal and granola bar snacks and told me to dump them or they can hold it. Are you kidding me??? lol Out of all my travels, have never heard of that absurdity. We snuck the snacks in every night and had to hide it to come in! Hahahaha The jokes on them. Such a petty rule that will make them lose customers like myself. 3) Lastly, This is a chill “exclusive” hotel. There was a horrible trashy guy with a Herod of three woman there when we arrived, he was drunk, loud and obnoxious. Why was it their fault? They kept serving him alcohol way past when they should have. It almost ruined our stay. Luckily they kicked him out, but it should never have gotten to that point. Also; they have “day passes” and day passes usually attract that type of element. That is not “exclusive”. 4)Also, very overpriced water activities. Nice hotel, but I would not stay there again.

Väldigt fina moderna rum och ett hotell med mycket vacker utsikt. Bra säkerhet runt hotellet och hjälpsam personal. En större och en mindre pool och möjlighet till bad i snön, var väldigt uppskattat. Vägen till hotellet var dock en mardröm och det tog ca 30-40 minuter att köra de sista 6 km fram till hotellet på grund av en riktigt fruktansvärd grusväg dit. Hotellet skriver i sitt avtal att de inte tar ansvar för värdesaker som inte förvaras i säkerhetsskåpet, men det finns inga säkerhetsskåp i något av rummen. Efter att detta påtalades gavs vi möjlighet att förvara våra värdesaker i receptionens säkerhetsskåp, vilket vi inte gjorde då detta blev mycket opraktiskt och kändes opålitligt. Frukost (5 olika alternativ på mat) ingick men allt utöver detta (förutom te/kaffe) var mot en kostnad (även vatten) och tog mycket betalt för allt.
