Culinary Perfection

The dining experience at the Palafitos restaurant was truly really good. Every meal we had was a multi-course delight, with the staff ensuring that each dish was a true work of art. I can't forget the night of our themed dinner; it was a magical experience! Enrique and Saul, our servers, made dining feel like a very good experience. The attention to detail was unparalleled, making every meal a highlight of our stay.

The comfort and elegance of the room exceeded all expectations!

Stunning Bathroom Features

The bathroom in our overwater bungalow was divine. It featured both an indoor shower with a view of the water and an outdoor shower, allowing for an very nice bathing experience. The jacuzzi tub added a touch of luxury that made each evening feel special. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind after a day of exploring—truly a highlight of our stay!
