Our stay at Vista Las Olas was truly exceptional, surrounded by stunning views of the ocean and jungle. The hotel is just a short walk from the quaint town of El Cuco, and we enjoyed the private beach right at our doorstep. However, the room's lack of privacy due to extensive glass panels and the necessity of keeping curtains drawn might be something to consider for those wanting a more secluded experience. Overall, it's a family-friendly spot, and we were impressed with the cleanliness and service provided.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, which is beautifully located between the ocean and lush jungle. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, offering an incredible view, but I wish the dining experience was a bit more memorable. The staff provided excellent service, and it was reassuring to see the security measures in place. Overall, this hotel is a great choice for a relaxing getaway, though there are minor improvements needed in the dining department.

This resort is a hidden gem, providing a peaceful and secure atmosphere with only six rooms. The ocean view from our room was breathtaking, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The highlight was definitely the stunning infinity pool surrounded by palm trees. However, I faced difficulty reaching them for a reservation change due to some unforeseen circumstances, which was frustrating.

Our stay at this resort spa was fantastic! Nestled between the ocean and lush jungle, it offered incredible views and a blissfully clean environment. While our room was nice, the limited privacy due to the glass layout was something to consider. The beach access was a definite highlight, but the dining could use some consistency in service and menu offerings. Overall, it's a great value for money, especially with the attentive service and beautiful setting.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, where the views are absolutely stunning and the facilities are quite nice. The rooms are spacious and comfortable; however, the dining experience left a bit to be desired, as the food was only average, and the service at the restaurant was inconsistent. Overall, it's a good choice if you're looking for a clean and comfortable place to relax, but it can feel a bit pricey for what you get.
