The room I am staying is huge, clean, and very nice. It is lovely and in in par with nature. We have crocodile,eagles and bird of paradise walking around. And if that is not your thing, the restaurant is amazing, plus prices are decent. I recommend this place.
Wonderful place. Good accommodations and restaurant. Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful peacocks on the grounds.
Excellent hotel with a nice view in every room. The shore is meters away from the hotels pool and the food is delicious.

We had a wonderful experience at Hotel Instrincha using their day pass. The pass gave us access to the pools, and we also received a credit to enjoy food and drinks at their restaurant, which made the day even better. The customer service truly went above and beyond & everyone was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel taken care of from start to finish. The resort is very clean, beautifully maintained, and impressively eco-friendly, which we really appreciated. My boys and I had an amazing time and left with great memories. This is a perfect option for a relaxing day, and we would absolutely do it again. Highly recommend checking it out.
The hotel is kind of simple, the beach is nice, the restaurant closes at 8 but hey the beer is cheap
Great views and atmosphere specially for kids. Only down side was problem with hot water.
