We had a lovely time at Gaia, with incredible staff who truly made us feel at home. The infinity pools with views of the rainforest and ocean were breathtaking, and the dining experiences were mostly exceptional. However, the hotel's location was a bit isolating with no nearby attractions to explore, and the room's view left much to be desired. Overall, it was a nice stay, but I wish there were more options for things to do in the evenings.

Staying at this hotel was an unforgettable experience nestled in a breathtaking rainforest. The views of both the jungle and ocean were simply stunning, and the rooms were spacious and clean, making us feel right at home. The staff's attentiveness and friendliness truly set this place apart. Still, while we enjoyed our dining experiences, we thought the breakfast could use more variety. Overall, the combination of comfort, exceptional service, and proximity to local attractions makes this an excellent value for money.
