I loved the hotel's location, as it was just a short stroll to fantastic restaurants that we enjoyed a couple of nights for dinner. The cleanliness was top-notch, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, making me feel like I was in an intimate treetop villa resort surrounded by lush palms and tall trees overlooking the pool.
