We had booked a suite for our stay. After checking in, we found that the living area lights did not work, rendering half of our area unusable. Over the next several hours, repairmen kept entering our unit for repairs but didn’t fix the problem. Then at 11:30 at night, the lights in the bedroom wouldn’t turn off. The switch ilmechanism for the room is a very unusual digital switch. This resulted in a disruption to our sleep. In addition, the breakfast buffet was absolutely pathetic.

This hotel brought the jungle onto the beach and it was wonderful. We saw iguanas, monkeys, and several exotic birds on the property. The room was wonderful, as well, with very comfortable beds and air-conditioning. The service on the beach was not especially attentive, but everywhere else the service was terrific.

Not 4 Stars, Disappointing

This is a 3 star hotel pretending to be 4 stars. Room cleanliness was below average. Dusty corners, filthy area rug in entry room, moldy spots around AC. Bathroom smelled like sewage when door was closed (no ventilation in bathroom). Bathtub is outdoors and we tried to use it in our last night…drain plug no working and wouldn’t fill. Unsafe door lock, you’d shut the door and then realize it wasn’t actually latched. I told front desk to fix it multiple times and they smiled and nodded and then didn’t. For the first 24 hours we had no hot water. I had to ask front desk three times to fix it. They never checked in with me, apologized or really seemed to care. Last night of our stay was New Years Eve. Got a call from front desk saying they were leaving at 10pm and no staff would be available all night long. Have you ever heard of a 4 star hotel that does that? Absurd. Then they had a DJ party with the speakers set up literally 6 feet from our patio. Went on til 7am. Would have been nice to know that we were going to have a full blast dance party before booked. Not cool. Don’t get me started on the restaurant. “Special Pancakes” consists of one 5 inch pancake for $15. The waiter said “because it’s special”. Some of the most expensive hotel food I’ve ever seen, rivals NYC hotels, just crazy. The good? Sheets and towels were clean, the grounds/pool are pretty, and the beach is awesome. But I can assure you I will not return here.

When we checked in we were told about what was included in hotel stay nor were we offered the amenities we saw other guests received later on the week. We checked in on the 15th before 7pm so reasonable time. I think what is included in our hotel stat the day we check in is more important than tours offered by the hotel. We would be told certain things requested would be done by the time we returned but it was not, we always had to ask again. It would be done always graciously but always had to ask a second time. Must say Roland was extremely helpful and great asset to the hotel. He should be put on your list of staff to promote. Most of other staff were extremely helful. Having the beach right there was a great plus. Thank you.

A charming hotel that exceeded all expectations. Amazing service and beautiful facilities. A unique property right on the beach, so much wildlife to see by the pool - howling monkeys and iguanas were a treat every day. Wish there were no jellyfish in the ocean so we could swim more. Otherwise, it was a fantastic stay.

Neither Expedia nor this hotel treated me fairly. After being stranded in country because the runway at Liberia was inadequate for my exiting plane to land, Expedia and this hotel refused to refund the rate for the room 5 hours after I booked, when I learned that the only way to get home was to drive 5 hours the day of rental to catch a different flight. Thanks for nothing Expedia and Bosque del Mar.
