Hotel San Bada was in a great location, had all the luxuries we needed, and the staff was fantastic. Pools were beautiful with sightings of iguanas. The roof top restaurant was amazing with views of wildlife including toucans, parrots, and other bird species. Daniel, our waiter went above and beyond! We had a great stay!
