Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is like a hidden gem, blending seamlessly into the cliff sides and trees, offering beautiful views of the beach and restaurants. The added security cameras in the rooms provide peace of mind knowing who's outside your door. The service, though generally pleasant, could benefit from some retraining, especially for guests from certain countries who have questionable hygiene habits. The fairytale-like location is truly incredible, with the perfect Caribbean waters and natural beauty stealing the show. The dining experience, with its separate yet varied options, leaves room for improvement despite including snorkeling trips. The facilities are well-rounded, catering to various needs.
Staying at this hotel felt like a dream come true with its stunning location next to the beach and surrounded by nature. The rooms seamlessly blending into the cliff sides and trees were an absolute delight, offering superb views of the sea. However, the checkout service could have been more helpful. The staff, on the other hand, were wonderful and friendly throughout, making our stay truly memorable.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was breathtaking, offering a fairytale-like escape with beautiful beach access and privacy, but the dining options were overpriced and the food quality disappointing. The service was friendly and accommodating, making up for some shortcomings.
My stay at the hotel was truly exceptional. The rooms were beautifully crafted, offering a rare experience of isolation and communion with nature, overlooking the sea. The sensible touch of having bicycles marked with the room number added a nice touch. On the downside, the price could be more competitive.
I felt like I was in a fairytale at the Treehouse Bungalows! The rooms were amazing with a nice terrace and comfy sun beds. The staff was exceptional, providing a rare experience of isolation and communion with nature. However, dining options were a bit costly and not up to par. The location was like a dream come true with exuberant landscapes all around.
Staying in the treetop villa with marked bicycles for each room was a delightful experience. The rooms were a perfect mix of rustic and modern, including a heated bidet; the view overlooking the sea was superb. The service was great, making me feel welcome and even offering beach transportation. The location was truly magical, surrounded by exuberant landscapes and perfect Caribbean waters. While the dining options were average, the facilities were top-notch.
