Hotel Bosque del Mar, Playa Hermosa

Hotel Bosque del Mar, Playa Hermosa

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is in a beautifully designed tropical garden. The room was very well maintained and beautiful. What impressed me most was that they provided glass water bottles, and the housekeeping filled them with filtered water for you. You can refill them yourself too. All the staff were smiley, warm, and helpful. The restaurant in the hotel was beautiful, and the breakfast was delicious (not included in the fee). The air conditioning in the room was good. The ocean view was great and easy to swim and the swimming pool were beautiful as well. The only shortcoming is that the swimming pool is a bit tiny. It is good for small kids, but not really suitable for swimming. The jacuzzi next to the pool was set to be lukewarm rather than hot. It'd be perfect if the hotel provided more activities or services probably. (The pool table was the only activity and we did enjoy it) However, we did enjoy the pool with a monkey family of eight howling on top of us everyday, which was so much fun! We also met many animals around the hotel, including iguanas, different kinds of birds, raccoons, and monkeys. The location of this hotel is quite isolated, so there are no restaurants or shops within walking distance to hang out at. Luckily, the hotel itself is good enough for us to hang out there most of the time. Overall, I really loved this hotel: the design, the ambiance, the vibes, the quality, and the staff."
