Numerous rooms smell of raw sewage, mold, and extreme-smelling cleaning products. Under no circumstances should you take a chance staying there.
There are other, positive details of the place, but they are overshadowed by the fact that it was misengineered; the waste lines stink and there is not adequate ventilation. The building is attached to a side of rock and the rooms are water damaged.
The only decent beach in the area is Playa Dorada (a 30 minute cab from Cofresi), all others are soiled by litter both in and out of the water. The area in walking distance does not have many decent dining or nightlife. The property is guarded closely by men with shotguns at a checkpoint.
The only bright spot is the people. Merlin, Belize, and the kitchen staff do their utmost. Unfortunately, this is a property that is based on a bait and switch. Pretty pictures, pretty views, but when you get to your room, there is a very good chance you will be sleeping with the stench of raw sewage.
Let me experience be a lesson to you! Don’t take a chance on this place!
