A disappointing experience
Shower with cold water. We figured out the second day that you need to let the water running for 15-20 minutes until you get hot water. They kept replenish only 3 towels for 4 people even when we told them repeatedly it's not enough. The food is subpar and the non vegan options are really poor in selection and quality. The door to the balcony was extremely heavy. It was impossible for my daughter (she's 12) to open it by herself. And it keeps on and on. We paid over $1000 a night for a suite and it was extremely disappointing for us.

One of the most thoughtfully designed, built and intriguing resorts. Beautiful, stunning and quiet. The food is delicious, and even though we are not vegan do not hesitate to try everything on the menu! The nomadic guides go out of their way to make you feel like you never left home.

A beautiful resort. Staff is very friendly but the check in was a bit awkward and they charge you an unecpected $200 deposit. Great spiritual, zen sort of vibe. Very beautiful beach and lounge areas, however be sure to research before you go to make sure you are not going during the off season or rainy season. They cut back on their dining and ceremony options which was disappointing. Also keep in mind that this is not an adult only resort as it should be.

Second time here.. first time in may 2023. Fantastic. Clean property that combines jungle and ocean front rooms in spectacular views. Very friendly staff. Very calming setting and set ip to be that way. If you are a cruise person who likes to trip over by people and having people right and left, this is not for you. If you like quietness, serenity, and nature, this is the spot for you. Food? Yes it is vegan resort. I am mostly carnivore and came back here as the quality is really good. You have three main restaurants that re open, Su Casa, Ume, and Lek. The Mar De Olive that is advertised online on the website is closed but you can get some of its menu out of Su Casa. In addition to the above, there is a Taco truck that has been also closed (can get its food from Su Casa) and a Cafe (Plantis) Out of the above, for dinner, Ume is ghe best. It is Japanese fusion Second is Su Casa, which has great food and nice views as it is ocean front and open for breakfast and lunch. Open for dinner too but see note below. Third is Lek which is ok. Note: Dinner used to rotate where u have two options a night, now only one place a night open for dinner. While this can be a bit annoying, still didn’t affect the overall experience and we didn’t feel that the food was redundant. Childcare: available at the kids club they have and very nice. Available for three ans above to be left there and potty trained. Otherwise, you have to clarify with them as this changes. Spa: amazing and a must.
