    spa treatments
    food inconsistency
    limited amenities

    It’s not all bad, but it’s not all good

    The staff's friendliness and attentiveness made my stay enjoyable, complemented by the fantastic dining options and beautifully maintained pools. Spa treatments were a highlight that I highly recommend.

    The food lacked consistency. familiar dishes varied in quality, and some amenities, like extra towels, were not readily available. Limited swimming options due to sea urchins were also disappointing.

    peaceful environment
    great breakfast

    I stayed for 9 nights in a Double or Twin Room with Garden View. The friendly staff went above and beyond, even helping me arrange a hairstylist. I loved walking right onto the beach and the breakfast spread was delicious! 🔆

    stunning views
    limited menu
    uncomfortable beds

    Beautiful hotel with stunning beachfront views.

    My stay was marred by a lack of hot water and uncomfortable beds, leading to back pain by the end of my trip. The limited breakfast menu became quite tedious after only a few days, and I found myself longing for more variety. the frequent presence of bees during meals made it almost impossible to enjoy breakfast outdoors.

    delicious breakfast
    beachfront location
    slow service

    the villa kiva offered a tranquil escape with lush gardens and a stunning beachfront location. breakfast was fresh and delicious every morning, particularly the local fruits. the atmosphere was relaxed and intimate, perfect for unwinding after a long day.

    service could improve with faster dining times. 😊

    would definitely come back here

    The Superior Double Room with Sea View and Balcony had a lovely atmosphere. The air conditioning was spot-on and the minibar was well-stocked. The view from the terrace was breathtaking, especially during sunsets. Enjoy the spa's full body massages and relaxing outdoor swimming pool. It was a perfect mix of comfort and relaxation.

    beach-facing restaurant
    delicious meals
    weak wi-fi

    I had a charming 8-night stay with cozy rooms and delicious fresh breakfast and dinner options. The beach-facing restaurant provided gorgeous views, but Wi-Fi was weak at times.

    spacious room
    king-size bed
    friendly staff
    obstructed view
    limited bathroom amenities

    I stayed in a Standard Double Room with Sea View for 10 nights, and it was spacious and cozy. The air conditioning worked perfectly, and I loved the king-size bed with the mosquito nets. Great cupboard space too! The bathroom was big, and the free toiletries were a nice touch. It felt really homey, especially with the friendly vibes from the staff. Just wish the views from the room were less obstructed by trees.

    The outdoor pool was refreshing, and the spa treatments like body scrubs were fantastic. Poor wi-fi.
