Loved this place, was such a magical town and this was the perfect spot to rest and relax. They have huge beds, great showers and bathroom, breakfast is simple but filling. All the staff were exceptional, they let us check in a bit early and called taxis for us. Highly recommended, getting into town is also only about 50 pesos so it’s so cheap to go to and from! Only thing that could be improved would be to add a wardrobe or more hangers for clothes.
Place is nice, people are nice, view is amazing I feel it's a little over priced The room service changed only 1 towel and left the other
Spent a lovely week here. Everything was nice. We liked that the hotel staff seemed genuinely happy. The views from the hotel of the lagoon are lovely. A good dock, and plenty of chairs for sunning by the lagoon.
Amazing venue! It was beautiful to be able to be on the water and dine daily. The staff were incredibly helpful with local recommendations and taxis. We would absolutely return for another anniversary.
Perfect place to hang out at the lagoon. They have some lounge chairs for guests and in the water a couple of hammocks and swings. They also offer boat tours. The front desk ladies were very friendly and had no problem to order us taxis for dinner. Room had AC, wifi, and a safe. No fridge or on-site parking, but didn’t effect our stay too greatly. There is a convenience store next door where we were able to buy bottled water. Overall a pleasant experience. Would stay here again!
This is a serene and beautiful location. Our room is in lovely condition, clean, pleasant. It’s simple but more than adequate. The lagoon is gorgeous and we can swim at the motel. There is a nice deck chair area with tables and umbrellas. The restaurant is open till 2pm. The hotel is quite a walk from restaurants and shopping but cabs are inexpensive and pass by often.
The rooms are nice and the location is good, right by the water. However, it's out of town and there are no good restaurant options close by. Unfortunately, we didn't like the breakfast at all, it's very sparse and doesn't have any flavor. You can only select 1 ingredient with your eggs. The restaurant closes at 2pm already.
I loved staying here. Went with my wife and son and daughter. Aspects that stood out for me… it’s small enough to feel personal. Staff are really good and always willing to help. Rooms are spacious and comfy. Their home baked stuff is amazing, especially the cinnamon buns. Only reason I’m giving 4 stars overall is the because we had to leave 1 day early and they weren’t at all flexible with the booking, so I had to pay anyway.
