Amazing spot but i think it lacks attention on certain details, for example it was not clean at all around the pool and that was not cool. Abraham is an amazing guy with the best attention, thanks and congrats specially to him. Also Henry was great.

By far the best hotel experience I've ever had. Truly luxury! The rooms and property were stunning, my massage was immaculate (thank you Jenny), and the sushi at dinner was the best I've ever had. But the amenities and service are what really set this place apart. All the staff were so attentive and eager to ensure an outstanding experience. In particular, Gary went above and beyond to make sure we got the most out of our stay and made everything as effortless as possible. I think I've been ruined for all other hotels. This is the standard we all deserve!

We really enjoyed our 5 night stay here. The unit was comfortable, and everyone was super friendly. Our stay included breakfasts which had a good variety of different and tasty options. The view from the open air restaurant and the lounge above it are awesome.

This was one of the most incredible and beautiful properties i have ever stayed at. It was so private and my family stayed in the 2 BR villa which was like a mini house. The staff was incredibly friendly, you are assigned a concierge to help with everything and it was truly perfect.

Great property, great staff, Jose was our concierge. He was excellent. Johnny was helpful at the pool and Ricardo did a great job in the restaurant. Staff pointed some amazing animals for us and we saw beautiful views of macaws and sloths. Clarence’s tour of the property was incredible and extremely informative.

The hotel staff were exceedingly accommodating. They went above and beyond. Shuttles to and from beach were timely and made our beach visits seamless. Our evening Macaw tour was incredible! Thank you Gaia!

Gorgeous property, felt like luxury in the middle of the jungle. Our room was great - the shower is nice & gives you the option to open the sliding window & look at nature while you shower. We are not usually pool users but we loved the pools at Gaia & used them everyday. The drinks & food were above average & all of the staff were exceptional - patient & kind to us, remembering my husband & I by name. The hotel offers a free tour by the Macaw reserve & through the forest with Clarence - what a lovely guide & experience! The transportation to & from your room is via golf cart - this was no issue but something to be aware of. Overall a wonderful experience - would stay again in a heartbeat.

The staff and owner at this property went above and beyond anything I have ever experienced at a hotel. They treated my husband and I like royalty. Our every need was met, we were given a fresh juice drink and warm wash cloth upon arrival. It was amazing, as were the gorgeous surroundings and wildlife .

Amazing stay. The staff are incredible. They just handle everything with care and attention. The food was terrific and fairly priced for being a 5 star resort. The resort itself is not a huge place but it’s still awesome and I’d highly recommend staying here
