First to start from the impressive property, around you is the lush garden jungle and a lot of animals, squirrels, monkeys, agoutis... At the same time you have direct access to the beautiful Montezuma beach and deck chairs. The food is especially excellent, I would single out the avocado wrap and fresh fish in white wine and shellfish sauce, delicious. Massage in the spa is top notch. Great excursions offer an even better guide, all staff is helpful and pleasant. What I object to is the bungalow. It is impeccably clean but small, there is no real closet, the bathroom is crying out for renovation, the curtain is such that it doesn't even cover the whole window. The fact that something is ecological does not mean that it cannot be modern and functional at the same time, and harmonized with the environment. Would I come here again? Yes. In touch with nature.

We feel the Ylang Ylang is a near perfect tropical vacation. If I was going on a honeymoon, this is where I would want to go. I find it to be one of the most beautiful, idyllic places on earth Their beach is one of true beauty and solace.

This is my 3rd time back and I can't get enough. The Ylang Ylang team treat us like family, the food is amazing (try the Coco Berry Shake!!!), and you get to see all kinds of wildlife right on the resort grounds! Patricia, Darren, and the rest of the team are super fun, sweet, and have the biggest hearts! Thank you for another amazing time! ❤️ Scott and Lisa❤️

My husband and I live within an hour of Ylang Ylang but the beautiful grounds and location on the beach enticed us to spend a few days there as a little getaway. We were so happy we did. We rented one of the great beach bungalows and enjoyed the sight and sound of the ocean. The food was great and included in the price so we didn’t need to carry any money around. The grounds are beautiful with mature native trees and plants and lots of wildlife. We watched a tiny turtle make its way from its nest to the water, right on the beach in front of our bungalow! We had Capuchin monkeys entertain us while we sat on the patio in front of the bungalow. The employees are all very nice and greet you like family members. When we left we decided to come again very soon.
