You'll also want to note that each room comes with hot water, a TV, Wi-Fi, beach towels, and a small fridge. There is also a restaurant right on-site that offers a complimentary buffet on a seasonal basis. If you want more dining options, there are several international eateries situated a few minutes away.

The reviews for El Faro del Colibri Resort are very high. Many guests cite clean rooms with no sand on the floor as a big plus. The breakfast receives top marks and so does the ocean surrounding each overwater bungalow. In fact, lots of guests detail how much fun (and how easy) it is to jump into the ocean from their rooms.
If you are concerned about the boat traffic next to the resort due to all of the water taxis, you’ll enjoy hearing that they don’t bother guests.
