Piedra Hincada Holidays from AU$1,647

Good Location for water-sports and trip pick-ups.

The good: We had a great time. Everything was very clean and the staff was very attentive. The entertainment staff did an amazing job with the kids. The food was always good and plentiful as were the drinks. The location couldn't have been more perfect. The bad:Elevators definitely need serviced. Showers have poor water pressure. The air conditioning didnt work on our first night and there was a leak in our ceiling. One bartender always seemed a bit grumpy. All of the entertainment was geared towards the kids leaving the adults with only drinking to entertain ourselves.

Clean and spacious accommodation, friendly staff, reasonably priced supermarket on site and plenty of dining options within a 5 minute walk. Particularly appreciated the filter tap in the kitchen so we didn't have to buy bottled water. Used the spa service for a massage and natural manicure, reasonable prices, enjoyed the pamper. Visited the hotel restaurant once, it is modern with pleasant sea views; reasonably priced though it is predominantly used by the older clientele; we preferred eating out but it's nice to have the option. Pool bar offered drinks and snacks, we didn't eat there but wasn't over priced for drinks and servers were quick and friendly. There's a pleasant path accessed by a gate at the back of the hotel, go left and you're in San Blas in 15 minutes, plenty of eateries, pubs, shops etc. Take a right and within minutes there's a strip of restaurants and a marina 15 minutes further on; nice views and a pleasant walk. Take mosquito spray, they're an issue if like me, you suffer from allergies. Overall a very pleasant and relaxing stay. It isn't for you if you want to be in the thick of it and if you have children that need lots of entertainment, it is a very relaxed vibe here which was perfect for us, and it's only 10 minutes drive from the airport. Would definitely return next time we need some sun and a few days to unwind.

Fantastic trip with ten dads, middle aged. Fantastic hotel, pools, all inclusive, rooms were perfect for sharing - 2 per room (make sure you message in advance for this), we went for 3 nights, the weather, saxophone player around the pool, restaurants. Only niggle was music turning off at midnight. This hotel is a super fun hotel… not for anyone who wants a quiet getaway.

Basic, but OK for the price. It’s a fair value and we would stay there again. Recommended.
