In the end, I’m glad we stayed there. I really liked our little “treehouse” (that’s what it felt like) - the bed was comfortable, and it was like shabby chic glamping. that’s the key, you have to approach it like camping in the jungle and then feel luxurious about your “glamping” experience. But other than that…
The Hotels.com map location is INCORRECT. The Hotels map puts it closer to town near Villa Amor, but it is much further away on the other side of playa Muertas. The walk into town is approximately 15 minutes on a muddy “road”. Golf carts and SUVs can navigate the path, but cars/taxis cannot due to the rutted/washed-out/bumpy condition. Most importantly, if you are on foot (like we were), it is pitch black at night, so we were walking with our cell phone flashlights. It would be impossible to do without. I was kinda grateful for the exercise, but as others warned, the path up to the property is very steep. We stayed in Norte, which wouldn’t have been my first choice. It has a small deck with only one chair, and just a peek-a-boo view. Worst, it is right at the top of the path, and the staff park their golf cart right at your front door. The pool is basically a two person pool, so if another couple is in it, you kinda feel like you have to leave and give them privacy. At check-in, we didn’t get the lowdown on how to connect (they use WhatsApp). The water was turned off one afternoon without warning. I only got coffee successfully one morning out of 5.
