Location is definitely top! Staff is incredible, they will go beyond to make you happy. Breakfast was delicious but the same every day, if you stay several nights like we did, gets a bit boring. Facilities are super outdated and old. The cleanliness overall of the place was very bad. I found old hair stuck all over the bathroom. Both pool areas also were super dirty! A little investment in the general hotel should be considered. Wood floors are broken in some areas making it dangerous to walk at night.

Welcome to the jungle and purda Vida. This hotel is nestled in the jungle which was so beautiful and has its own beach club. Walking on the resort you might run into a holler monkey, sloth and other local animals that appear friendly towards humans. The staff is so kind and they have many amenities. The room seemed a little outdated but not bad for that area. Out of the properties I saw in the local area I would say that this location is probably the best as many of the hotels/resorts seem due for an update. Transportation around town is easy and convenient to include ATV/scooter rental right next to the resort. The hotel offers many tour packages which seemed over priced. If you go into main town you will usually get a better deal than what the hotel offers. The staff here were so kind and accommodating so I would definitely come back.

The hotel has a fantastic location, you are right on the beach or just cross the main road into the beach <5 min walk from most bedrooms. This is very important, otherwise parking is very limited at the nice beaches. The building, common areas and bedrooms are a bit dated and would benefit a lot if refreshed a bit. The biggest area for improvement would have to be with the staff at the restaurant. Understaffed and with great improvement opportunitites in terms of speed of service, knowledge. All in all, a terrific vacation and would definitely give the hotel another chance.
