10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at ginger and cacao White House. We appreciated the change of towels every two days and the heated pool was amazing! We saw toucans and monkeys in the trees surrounding the property. We took a 4x4 vehicle and I’m glad we did or we wouldn’t have make it up the incline to the hotel. The only negative we found was it’s a busy street so you hear cars passing by frequently. But that’s no fault of the hotel, just something to consider. It was quiet at night though which was good. We loved that we had everything we needed to cook food in the house. The hosts were amazing and provided me with extra pillows as I asked. The house was clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back to stay in one of the bigger homes on the property with our family!"

8/10 Good
"The house was beautiful. Wonderful location. Safe and clean. The only complaint is that the stay is advertised to have air conditioning however only one of the two bedrooms has this (the room with the double bed and NOT the room with the double and single bed). This was not an issue for my partner and I as we only used the one room but if travelling in a bigger group it would become an issue."
