We arrived early about 11am and were able to leave our large backpacks at the front desk while we explored the market. We were also were welcomed to use the pool until our room was ready, which was a great relief from the heat and humidity! The pool is pretty big with a waterfall, hidden cave, and a full bar. We thoroughly enjoyed taking a dip every night after hiking all day. The cabana area of the resort was well manicured with native plants, trees, and many iguanas running about. The kitchen is open at 7am and offers a HUGE fruit platter. The room was clean and spacious, with a big shower. There was both a/c and fans. The only negative was the mattress. It was so soft I woke up with back pain every morning.
