What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious and Varied Breakfast

The breakfast at the resort was a highlight of my stay. I particularly loved the buffet-style options available from Monday to Friday, with an omelet station that whipped up fresh, delicious dishes. The chilequiles and beans were fantastic too! Esau, my waiter, provided really good service and made sure I had everything I wanted every morning.

Modern and Comfortable Studio

I stayed in a well-appointed studio that balanced modern amenities with tropical decor. It was spacious and impeccably clean, providing a comfortable retreat after a day at the pool. I loved the minimalist design that allowed me to unwind. The air conditioning worked perfectly, making for a cozy atmosphere during the evenings.

Relaxing Pool Experience

The resort's pool was fantastic! I enjoyed the peaceful ambiance with never more than 15-20 people at any given time. The poolside experience was excellent, with lounge chairs always available. I could comfortably soak in the sun while enjoying refreshing drinks from the nearby bar. The bar staff often brought fresh fruit, like mango and pineapple, to snack on, which was a good touch!

Spacious and Well-Equipped Bathroom

The bathroom in my studio was quite spacious and elegantly designed. It featured a large shower with excellent water pressure and modern fixtures. I appreciated the ample counter space which made it easy to organize all my belongings. It felt more like a spa experience than just a typical hotel bathroom!

Kovay Gardens is a charming and picturesque resort that offers a cozy atmosphere perfect for a romantic getaway. The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, and the grounds were beautifully maintained. However, the dining options can feel repetitive after a few days, and the location is a bit secluded, making it challenging to explore without transportation.
