Clean, spacious and full of great amenities. Patio with amazing beach view. Only downfall was the hot tub was not warm water.

Great location with four beautiful pools, that we always had to ourself. Wouldn’t recommend the plunge pools as the water was pretty stagnant. Great view of the sunset from the beach bar. Surfboard rental prices were a lot more than other locations nearby so shop around. Comfy beds, warm showers and a little oasis of plants and free range chickens.

The room and the hotel are amazing. However, the staff of the hotel is a little snarky. The prices for food and drinks are a little too expensive. However, the room is amazing, the pool is clean and amazing. The access to the ocean is really great as well. Overall, good stay, the staff could improve though.

Very nice property overall. Not actually on the beach but very close with a few houses, (Bunga Loose) being in front and blocking much of the views. Staff is absolutely great. We had ocean views with a private rooftop plunge pool. Would stay again.

The staff is so nice and helpful, I will recommend to hotel to anyone who wants to rest in a quiet hotel, food at the restaurant was amazing, Salvador the Supervisor excellent and Jose the restaurant supervisor amazing, there is nothing bad or wrong about the Hotel, my suggestion to Salvador will be tips should be individually instead of putting the tips in a Jar at the front desk

Great property. It is not adult-only per Expedia. Kids/families are welcome. The reception can organize activities for you to do. Food is fresh and delicious. Staff is very friendly and accommodating

For a luxury hotel, it wasn't the cleanest. We found it a bit overpriced based on the overall hospitality. The swimming pools were nice and the location was right next to the beach.

We loved the second pool. You could hang out all day because it was shaded and had benches to sit on underwater.

The price point was too high for its location, during my visit there was construction, so the noise was ever present. Upside is the very short walk to the beach.

Verified review

8/10 Very good

The property was overall nice but there is very limited view of the ocean as most of the property is blocked in front by new buildings. The website shows older pictures that do not show the new buildings blocking the view and there is continued new construction creating a mess to walk through from the Ka’ana gate to the beach. This wouldn’t have been so disappointing if they were honest in their advertisement and description of the property and rooms. I paid a premium price for a master suite with ocean view. There was no view of the ocean at all. They did move us to a smaller room on the end where you could see the ocean (also overlooking the cemetery!) but they still charged us for the full price of the master suite AND more because they had a higher conversion rate from Quetzals to USD ( I was charged about $60 more than the price I booked for and was given a room that should have been $50 less per night) I was originally told we would be charged the lesser rate but they didn’t follow through. As well, the room needed cleaning, we had to ask for towels, and to have the sheets changed (they had ink marks on the pillow cases). They did attend to the cleaning needs quickly when we asked, but I shouldn’t have had to ask! The staff were very nice and helpful. They made the stay good (thanks Emily and Jose!) But due to the poor management (mgr did not compensate or show any care about the overcharge), lack of cleanliness, and false advertising, I would caution booking here.

We had an amazing stay. The resort is truly what you see in the photos. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Being right on southern coast of Guatemala on the North Pacific Ocean is so wonderful. I recommend this as a vacation destination spot for anyone!
