The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Culinary Delight

The food at the Luna restaurant was excellent, offering a variety of fresh and delicious dishes. One of my favorites was the huevos rancheros for breakfast - simply the best I've ever had! The view from the restaurant while enjoying dinner was amazing, especially at sunset. The overall dining experience was a highlight of my stay!

Spacious and Comfortable Rooms

Our room was a spacious studio with a lovely patio area where I could sit and listen to the sounds of the forest. The air conditioning worked perfectly, and I enjoyed the comfort of a high-quality bed. It was a serene escape with beautiful views that made every moment special.

Great Entertainment Options

The hotel had excellent Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, which allowed me to stay connected easily. While I was tempted to watch Netflix on the in-room TV, I chose instead to enjoy the wildlife and nature around me. However, it's great to know that entertainment options are available if needed!

Reviews and Ratings

United Kingdom, February 2025

7.8/10

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.
