The food , pools , bar, and staff are excellent. They are so warm and welcoming. I love the feeling walking into the lobby and possibly seeing one of the owners and their dogs. We stayed there for our honeymoon. We felt very special and really enjoyed planning our time there with Art Barraza. He was fantastic. He is so fun and personable. I think he’s even won an award for his concierge service. They were so responsive when I inquired about an art piece. This is happiness, expect no more! Perfect motto for this hotel and our stay. Highly recommend it. We cannot wait to return. Our plan would be to come back every year. Thank you for making our honeymoon unforgettable. Read less

Juan is charming, checked our bags while we waited on the room and has hospitality mastered. From the bartenders ( Robert, Jorge, ) to our fabulous waiter at LT for dinner (Oscar) each encounter exceeded expectations. The decor, art and great lobby and bar-I could go on and on. There is no reason to leave unless you want to go to the beach, which I would recommend. We will be back! Read less

Beautifully designed hotel and rooms. Friendly staff - early check-in (10:30AM!!). Great drinks, wonderful beach set up, and a decent gym. Free water and coffee and well-stocked mini-fridge. The rooftop pool has great views, lots of drink and food options.

The staff were exceptional and dealt immediately with any concerns/requests me or any member of my family had during our stay. In particular Esme at the front desk was over and above what one would expect for service at any hotel. She was friendly, helpful, and surpassed my expectations with any request we had for her and her team. I also fund Juan, the Bellman, always welcoming and genuinely interested in how our stay was going. What a team you put together here. The gym was excellent, although a little round about to get to. Would be nice to have a more direct access out the back of the main building (rather than the 3rd floor our around the building). The live piano in the lobby was so great to finish off a day with, and the lobby was always inviting and a happy place. I also loved the fresh complimentary coffee at the bar in the morning after my workouts. Great location, great team, we will be back! Read less

Great location and a very comfortable stay. All of the staff who helped us were extremely helpful, especially Tariq who went above and beyond to assist us in an excursion we were taking outside of the hotel. The concierge, Art, was also extremely kind and sent champagne for our friend's birthday! Would stay here again.
