I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms are equipped with novel solar cooling devices and full kitchens, making it super convenient. The little bedroom had a fridge and safe for extra comfort. The service was top-notch, offering car hire, grocery shopping service, and airport shuttle. The location, literally in the jungle, was an unforgettable experience, so close to the peaceful Playa Grande beach. However, dining is not included in the rate, and the facilities could use some improvement.
