My stay at Isla Chiquita was quite an adventure, with unique glamping tents and a serene vibe. The views were fantastic, especially from the jungle setting, and I really enjoyed the couple's massage at the spa. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, with limited and poorly executed meal options. The pool area was quite basic, which didn't match the overall luxury feel of the resort.

Isla Chiquita Glamping is an incredible escape with stunning natural beauty and a luxurious twist on camping. The tent cabins offer a truly unique experience; they are spacious and well-equipped, perfect for families or couples looking to unwind. The dining exceeded my expectations with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, although the menu might feel limited on long stays. While the property is a hidden gem, some may find the dining options mildly restricted during extended visits.

The dining options are top-notch, with fresh local cuisine that is beautifully presented. However, the trek up to the dining areas can be tiring after meals, although golf buggies are available.
