This place is a Jim, I was so glad to have booked this hotel. It is a bit up the hill, but the view is phenomenal and the staff was amazing and dedicated to make sure my stay was perfect. The beds were extremely comfortable, the pillows were fluffy, the air conditioning worked great, the rooms were big with a private patio, the shower was super clean. I definitely recommend and I will go back for sure.

We visited on the off season so rooms were cleaned a while ago but they were not maintained. All rooms we tried had bat droppings on the bathrooms. We settled for a room that had only some, unfortunately. The woman at reception was slow and cumbersome with registering us and it took 2 hours back and forth with her asking for much information. View is beautiful and wished things were better. On peak season I would assume things would be cleaner and more streamlined.

We stayed in the two-bedroom villa. It was a little difficult getting to at first but it worked out. We had an enjoyable stay. The staff were great and the restaurant/bar was a good option for convenience, if nothing else. The road up is a bit challenging by U.S. standards but we had a 4X4 SUV. I honestly do not know how anybody drives a sedan. With all the potholes and dirt roads, you would tear up your car. We would stay again at this property.

When we arrived at Hotel Planeta Sano, we were a little surprised by how remote the location seemed. As we had plans for multiple activities, we were worried about having to make the drive repeatedly. The lovely staff helped us book excursions that included transportation, and my worries were solved. The beautiful view each morning and abundant wildlife around made each day a surprise. The staff are all very kind and helpful, the pool is clean fresh and inviting, bar and restaurant served tasty food and drinks, and our room was clean, comfortable and had that amazing view.

Nice property! (Minus the drive up the narrow road difficult parking situation, and the no elevator... but very common there, so probably just us needing to be a little more open- minded.) The view was great. Restaurant/ wait staff was amazing. Good food choices.
