The resort itself is quite beautiful. The infinity pool was gorgeous. Dining room was wonderful. The chef is outstanding. Absolutely outstanding. The room was gorgeous. We didn't rent a car however, and it was very inconvenient to get anywhere. You can't really go walking because the place itself is on a very high hill with very steep roads around it

The place was fantastic and staff was very friendly and kind. I would suggest staff have name tags as I had difficulty with some of the names since I don't speak Spanish.

Stunningly beautiful hotel with classic Old World feel. Friendly, charming staff. Fabulous location with the best view in Ojochal from the pool, deck and ocean view rooms. Great food.
