The Thompson, though very pricey, is a great splurge if it's in the budget. The rooms are lovely--many different standards--some bigger than others though they are all quite nice. The website does not do a good job of descripbing them. My favorite was the swim up suite--try to get ones like 5, 6 or 7 for best beach views. Beach suite 8 was amazing--huge room, plunge pool, steps from the sand. Housekeeping does a great job, drinks at Hao are strong and the bartenders are very friendly, the main pool by Hao is the perfect place to while away an afternoon. My only complaint is Ceniza. We ate there for the first time--a birthday dinner for four couples--and it was lousy. Don't bother, and just head down the beach to La Perla or La Gaviota, or splurge at Mar 7 Cielo at Casa Que Canta. I wish they'd step up their food game as the setting is sensational. The hotel faces west and the sunsets are so beautiful. I will definitely go back--it's so peaceful.
