The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms kept meticulously. Being located in a vibrant area with a loud bar could be both a positive and negative, depending on your preference. The service is top-notch, but the potentially noisy environment might not suit everyone.

The hotel had a quiet location nestled in the rainforest, perfect for a retreat. The rooms were kept spotless, but the loud bar nearby could be disruptive at times. The service was top-notch from check-in to the friendly housekeeping staff. The dining options were diverse and delicious, though the dining area seemed a bit cold. Overall, a tranquil stay with excellent service and amenities.
