    Very relaxing beautiful trip

    Beautiful resort and beach. Enjoyed the Palafitos and the quietness of the location. The Palafitos restaurant was top notch. Great service from Ceasar at the main pool swimup bar, Alberto (bellman) always had a smile and joke, Averto (Palafitos Bali bed attendant) was very friendly and attentive, Alfredo (Palafitos beach bartender) super nice and made great drinks. Last but not least our butlers, Mauricio and Daniel took care of our every need.

    Awesome stay!!

    We had an amazing time in the bungalows over the water. Beautiful view and great swimming right off our private deck. The “all inclusive” is terrific and the food is very good. Alberto greets you with a laugh and a smile and makes you feel welcome. Our three butlers Yasser, William and Fernando were terrific and very attentive. Our beach master Alvaro was the best. We had a tremendous five day stay and highly recommend this place.
