My stay at this hotel was incredible! Right on the water with amazing hammocks to relax in, a king size bed for ultimate comfort, but no TVs or telephones, providing a truly peaceful setting. The location was superb, surrounded by lush tropical gardens and the best private beach in the area. Although the absence of modern amenities like TVs may not be for everyone, the quiet and serene atmosphere was truly refreshing.

Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were right on the water, providing a serene atmosphere with a king-size bed and efficient air conditioning. However, the absence of TVs or telephones may not suit everyone's preference. The service was exceptional, from the reception staff to the bartenders and maids at Las Palapas, making my stay truly wonderful. The location, nestled in lush gardens not far from the beach, was simply perfect. The dining experience, with a great outside view, offered delicious meals, though having more variety would have enhanced it further. The facilities provided added convenience and comfort to my stay.
