The house keeping staff kept forgetting to replace out wash clothes which was a little upsetting but not the end of the world. Within the suite/ room itself I felt although the linens and decor could be updated.

It was very relaxing. Security was great. Helpful & friendly staff. The WiFi was very spotty in our location #7 so texting & internet were unavailable. Also Due to this the TV did not function. Water pressure was very low so difficult to have a shower.

Largest zip line in Central America was real close to the resort. This resort is @ 30 minutes from the airport.

There is no dinner served at the hotel but there is a great restraint in the beach within walking distance. You also need to bring your own towels if you want to swim as there are no beach towels offered.
