The pool was nice, but it was really small. We preferred to go to the beach.

    “The hotel was beautiful and felt very cozy since it’s a small. We were here for our wedding anniversary. The hotel gave us a free upgrade, our room was absolutely gorgeous. And they provided us a bottle of wine as well. We really enjoyed relaxing by the pool in the afternoons and watching the monkeys up in the trees. The location is unbeatable, only a few minutes walk to the entrance of the national park.”
