Spent some nights there on July, unfortunately due to the rainy season there were a lot of electricity troubles (taking time to Get the electricity back) & the closet store is not a wood high Quality.. Place is really cute we feel the nature & the staff also very kind, breakfast tasty.. I appreciate my stay there & I recommend
Great hotel. Beautiful wonderful staff and food and private pools. Some of the negative reviews are from pampered, whiny Westerners. There is security everywhere. Unsafe? Who is a threat, no gun violence and mass slaughters here as in US. Yes, there is soap. If not go buy a bar. There is good water pressure and hot. Do you not notice there is not much water and no inrastructire? This is a desperately poor country. People at hotel do not even make enough money for taxi fare everyday. Talk to them and learn about their lives. Yes there are stray dogs and cats. All poor countries have them. Puerto Rico has 100k stray dogs. There are people here as elsewhere trying to relieve the suffering. Why not help them? Sit and stuff your face while animals and people go hungry. Pathetic. Build quality in developing countries is not first world. No door to bathroom? Not untypical. Rooms are cool. Do you not know that there is no first world power plant? Most people have no AC and could not afford the bill anyway Cannott see from BR anyway.. Did you not know that a hotel like this w lush flora is an oasis for birds and other fauna in an area where nature no longer exists? I avoid people like you here. Ignorant and uncaring. Go back home and stay at Days Inn.
