I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The rooms were excellent, clean, and very comfortable. The service was very hands-on, and the staff really took care of the guests. The location, though not cheap, was right next to the rainforest, offering a unique experience. The dining options were plentiful and very nice, especially the breakfast buffet. Overall, a great stay with some minor drawbacks.
