Brahma Blue Resort

We booked a penthouse (3 of our party were arriving a day early than others but we chose to pay for the penthouse rather than live out of a suitcase then move after 1 day). Unfortunately the penthouse was not available due to unforeseen circumstances, and we were given an inferior apartment for that night. This was disappointing, but the member of staff was very helpful and very apologetic (and they did not charge for an extra bed that we reserved). That particular apartment was an interior one (so quite dark hallway and bedrooms/bathrooms with limited natural light, and dark concrete floors although the lounge/kitchen/balcony was very nice. The penthouse was much better, it had fabulous panoramic views and was really light and airy with great sized rooms. Fully equipped kitchen and 3 bathrooms and TV with firestick. The grounds and location are great, very peaceful. Lovely pool and lagoon jetty. Good restaurant next to the boat jetty. The boat ride across, yes was a little restricting but we really enjoyed actually, apart from getting stuck for an hour at 9pm waiting to return (some issue with cover not being available) but after that, yes there were 10-15 minute delays (bear in mind if catching a flight) but nothing troubling. You can always pay for a specific time crossing (10USD pp I think). We did not see staff much at all during our stay and the apartments aren't serviced during stays as far as I know (we didn't mind this, and they were responsive to messages). All in all we had a lovely time!

Downsides, some of the apartment facilities could do with updating and the water pressure was poor. Disappointed that the jacuzzi tub was absolutely non useable, barely a trickle, should really be advertised as "not currently working" as for some of our party this was a significant reason for booking.

It was so much fun exploring the busy hustle and bustle of San Pedro town and so blissful t9 get the little 3 min boat ride across the lagoon to the peace and quiet of Brahma Blue. Our group loved everything about it. The views across the lake from our balcony were stunning. We could have sat there all day just looking. The room was immaculate and well equipped and the staff were great. The Coconut cafe over the water was fantastic. Great food choices and good portion sizes. Also delicious cocktails and a well stocked bar. We will be back again for sure!

I love Daryl's willingness to help and his dedication to ensure all my needs were taken care off. He was amazing and the hotel is extremely lucky to have him. He arrange massages, golf carts, pick uo from airport, restaurants reservations, etc. One thing thw water smells funny.

The water in the shower smells funny...leaving you a dirty sensation

Coconut Cafe was amazing restaurant nearby

The shuttle to get to the main town was not as advertised. There are less shuttles running now (but you can pay $10 for private shuttles) but found it a hassle to deal with.
