"Beautiful oasis next to the beach. This was the perfect place to spend our honeymoon! Every morning we walked the beach then rinsed off and took a dip in the pool. We were so spoiled being served breakfast every morning to start our day. We were just as happy to stay locally as we were to travel. We saw birds, monkeys, even a raccoon!

Hotel San Bada Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We picked San Bada because it's literally next to the park entrance. It was so nice after a long sweaty hike to get back to the room, eat lunch and use the pool. I didn't realize how amazing the hotel would be. Extremely friendly staff, incredible breakfast, and epic views from our balcony and rooftop. We heard howler monkeys, and saw toucans and scarlet macaws while sipping great coffee each morning. I would definitely return."
