Great hotel, excellent service. Only downside was that the WiFi was down while we were there for one night. Beautiful surroundings. Walked the waterfall trails and it was a great workout.

Pricey resort - not really worth the expense
We stayed in Villa 20 next to Pool 2. The villa was nice but Pool 2 was not open (completely drained). There was no air conditioning so we opened our windows only to hear dogs barking constantly, including all night long. It made it hard to sleep. Dinner was expensive and there wasn’t a varied drink menu. Our waiter was not very friendly. The sunset pool was nice but there was a family with 5 kids that were loud and were also loud at dinner too. The highlights were the beautiful trails, farm to table animals, beautiful landscaping, and the best complimentary breakfast. Other than that a little disappointed for price.
