This resort spa is truly a magical retreat! Surrounded by stunning natural beauty, I found the accommodations comfortable and the amenities exceptional. The emphasis on wellness with yoga sessions and healing pools was delightful, but it is a bit remote, which might not suit everyone. Overall, great value for money considering the unique experiences offered.

I had a fantastic experience at this beautiful resort tucked away in the lush rainforest. The grounds and hot pools were stunning, providing a great atmosphere for relaxation. Although I found the rooms to be a bit dark and the bed not very comfortable, my overall stay was enjoyable. Just be mindful of the shower pressure, which was quite low during my visit. The restaurant offered good value and the staff were attentive, making it a pleasant experience overall.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort! The grounds were immaculate and full of beautiful flowers, and the hot springs were delightful. However, the room had a damp smell that was hard to get rid of, and breakfast was the best part of the dining, while lunch and dinner were just okay. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, but some improvements could make it even better.
