The service is actually the BEST of any resort I have visited, and I have fortunately been able to go to some great places. This place is over the top! It is an extraordinarily beautiful property, very natural (if that is what you like) The resort only has 41 rooms which makes it feel very personal. The staff knows your name immediately. We had an amazing lobster dinner on our villa patio served by Carlos the sommelier for Viceroy after mentioning we would miss 'lobster for dinner' I told our butler Alberto one story and his quick wit and personal attention will be a memory I will have for life. Alberto was the heart of the resort. Luis our beach attendant and Jose took care of us each day with impeccable service. They knew what we wanted and were there anytime it even crossed my kind we could need something! I almost forgot the food. I have seen some unfavorable reviews but I will vehemently disagree. There were a variety of options including amazing fixe pre-set menus which showed off the chef's amazing talent. Chef Alejandro came out and we had nothing but compliments. It is a creative touch, not chicken fingers and tater tots, very creative cuisine!! There wasn't one meal that I went to that wasn't great and actually reasonable. The chef is under-rated for his originality with great and local food!. The bartender Oliver has the most fantastic smile and laugh. It is contagious and makes you even more happy to be there! He makes great drinks too.... the energy of this resort is unique in many ways. The resort was cut into the jungle so it is so serene. The villas blend w the jungle w outdoor showers and plunge pools. The scenery , animal life, and atmosphere made you relax immediately!!!! Go please go because you will not regret it---at the same time- don't drive up prices so much I wont be able to afford it!
