Very friendly staff helping with special requestsPosted on ToriApril 26, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a beautiful hotel Jesse and Andre have here! We loved nearly everything about our stay. Some of the pros include: - The location, within walking distance of the main strip, the beach, the grocery store, restaurants, really everything you could need. Just keep in mind that the hill is STEEP to walk back up. - The employees, all super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Loved talking with them and asking them questions. - The surrounding nature, ohhhh my gosh. The view! The birds! The flowers! But especially the howler monkeys. We saw them every day!! They like to hang out in the large tree by the yoga deck. It was so much fun to watch them. - Cleanliness. It was as clean as we could have hoped for, with all the basics. ** Keep in mind that these rooms have the basics and nothing more. No TV, ways to stay occupied, etc. I don't think they expect you to stay in the room too much. There were only two cons, but still not enough to dock from my 5-star review. 1) Our bed was reeeeally squeaky and loud. It squeaked even rolling from one side to other, and the squeaking didn't stop when we'd try to do anything else, lol. Was almost comical. 2) The hours on the amenities are very short. I think the pool was 9am-8pm. I'm on vacation in a tropical place whose daylight starts at six - I don't want to have to wait until 9am to get in the pool. Just seems like odd hours. Overall, we really enjoyed the place and would absolutely stay again. It was STUNNING and peaceful.Posted on Boyd AMarch 25, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
