Great place and incredibly friendly staff. Amazing location. Less than 5 min to the beach and 2 min to the national park. The hotel has seen its best days (it’s a bit worn) but it was still clean and nice. Amazing pool and restaurant with a breathtaking view of the ocean. Monkeys came to visit several times and some other guests had even seen a sloth from the pool. Would recommend!

Perfect location and views!
First of all the location and the views of this was awesome! Out of the hotel and you’re in the national park. The views from your balcony of the ocean sunset or just a spectacular as any sunset restaurant you would go to. The service was great the animals on the property like monkeys on our balcony survived and others were able to see even before going to the park. The pool was refreshing and the breakfast was adequate choices. The only downside is that since these are containers, they noise travels and the walls are paper thin! There is a steep hill to climb, but they also have golf courts to take you up. They are quick to respond to you on WhatsApp. It’s a good solud three + star hotel

Great stay
This was different. Hotel made with old containers but it works. Sound proofing between walls was thin. But 2 nights was fine. Stay on the top floor. Best view. steep hill to climb. Not for someone with any knee or hip issues.
