"Lovely ocean view suite which was nice, quiet and peaceful to watch the days go by while working. Although early check-in wasn't available, there is luggage storage and access to the common lounge/restaurant area which was a beautifully decorated space to enjoy with the water swing, floaties and access to swim right from the deck. The front desk team were extremely friendly and helpful with checking in on stay and providing local information with tours. I loved that there was filtered water...

"Cool location in the lush jungle with walking paths and warm water! I only lost a little skin on the waterslide, but still so fun! The included hike to hospital point was surprisingly perfect. Nightime underwater glow worms were a trip! I didn’t book this room, but they put me in a sea urchin shaped upsides pool, it was cool.

Cataleya Hostel
1.5 star property
7.0 out of 10, Good, (4)
"Decent place to stay outside of the town center. Pretty clean place, a house with a family, not a traditional hostel. Hit and miss whether it will be a party hostel or not, depends on the current guests. 11am check out means leave the property, can not leave your bags there or stay inside, you must leave. Ive traveled the world extensively and never heard that before. Not even from hotels. I personally would stay somewhere else. Breakfast was $8. Extremely expensive in my opinion. "

5/5 Excellent
"Very difficult to get around because of the only unpaved road. The resort was fine. If you go there, plan on staying 3-4 days because it’s very hard to get to due to the only bumpy road. "
