Nice hotel and property.
Our stay was very enjoyable. The property is very hilly and with bad knees it made it difficult to get around. But the hotel moved us to a room beside the office and on the ground floor which made everything easier for us.

Great Staff, but Management and Food Need Improve
This is a very good hotel with excellent and attentive staff.
However, the overall management shows a lack of knowledge in basic hospitality standards. For example, there is moss in the pool, overly soft mattresses that become very uncomfortable, and staff members like the security guard and gardener are tasked with repairs.
The lowest point is the food. Most dishes have an unpleasant taste of rancid oil, and the fruit is of poor quality.
This is a crucial moment for the hotel to address these issues properly; otherwise, it risks falling into a downward spiral, which is hard to recover from.
I emphasize once again that the staff is excellent and very attentive.

Stayed here twice and have enjoyed the hotel each time. Second time we came to the hotel with three children, ages 6, 10, 12 and they loved it as well. Very peaceful and beautiful surroundings.

Really nice hotel. Very spacious rooms. And lovely grounds. And easy access to a beautiful beach. A couple of nice restaurants in walking distance. Or an easy drive to Sámara for more options.
Would have rated higher but they did not give any of the recognition for hotels.com gold - no room upgrade, no early check in or late checkout.

The property was beautiful and clean. The staff was amazing, friendly and accommodating to all of our needs. The food was absolutely amazing and reasonably priced. We stayed 3 days and were reluctant to leave the peaceful, comfortable and relaxing surroundings. The rooms were spacious and the beds were so comfortable. The views and sunsets were amazing! We will be back!

Incredible hotel with the friendliest staff
Our stay at Nammbu was incredible. The resort overlooks beautiful Playa Carrillo which is only a short walk away. The property is designed to create a magical experience surrounded by the jungle. The best part of our stay were the staff who made us feel extremely welcomed and catered to our every need. They were so hospitable, smiling and friendly it was difficult to leave.

The property is advertised as beachfront and it is not. You also have to walk up and down a very long steep incline to get from the parking lot to your room.
