    Beautiful! Very relaxing and serene. The hotel is on the side of the mountain so it’s surrounded by rich forest with monkeys occasionally coming to say hi (and steal our breakfast!). Service was exceptional and the room was lovely and spacious.

    The location is close to the beach and restaurants but within enough distance to be quiet and peaceful. The room was gorgeous and we loved the food at both restaurants! The staff was so kind and accommodating! We also loved that we could take yoga...
