  AWFUL EXPERIENCE

  By far the worst resort customer service we've ever experience with a "5 star resort". I have never had to follow up on an email 5-6x to get a response, and still they have yet to respond. Better to take your money somewhere else to a resort where they actually care about their customer service. DO NOT recommend staying here. Pay a little extra and go to a resort that actually cares.

  Beautiful, quiet and exclusive resort

  Imanta exceeded my expectations. I was a little bit apprehensive before arriving there. However, once we arrived I was pleasantly surprised. Jeremy greeted us and explained to us that we had been upgraded, which was a nice surprise. Our room was an ocean front room. There are only 12 rooms/villas in the entire property. It's very private. There is no one else on the beach other than us. Breakfast and lunch were great. We had a private heated pool in our patio. We went hiking with Rogelio. This hiking is a MUST! I have hiked all around the world. This hike is very easy and beautiful. It reminds me of Napali Coastline hike and Cinque Terre. The flight was an easy 2 hour flight from Houston. We took Uber from the airport and back to the airport. Cost is about $40. Very cheap. Other than the beach, the hike and the property, there isn't really anything else to do. I would highly recommend this place for a honeymoon couple.

  Secluded. Jungle. Ocean Waves. One-Of-A-Kind.

  This was our third time to Imanta, a fabulous secluded resort that lives on a mountain surrounded by jungle. It is one-of-a-kind and would be rated 5-star if only they updated the resort since it opened in 2010. We stayed at the Aye suite (there are only ten suites and two villas) which I think is their best suite right off the ocean. So close in fact, you can hear the thunderous waves 24/7 which makes for the best sleeping. The suite is sparse with hardly any amenities (only hand lotion provided in the bathroom) and mini fridge has a few bottles of water, soda and one Snickers bar. However, it is spacious and the shower features a view of the ocean with a window that opens. This suite also features an outdoor shower. The beach is on the small side with crashing waves in the morning and where breakfast and lunch are served. Food is very good here along with service that can't be beat. Steps away is the outdoor spa (literally, no roof here) and you can enjoy outdoor massages and facials. The major disappointment is the gym which I have asked senior management on my both previous visits to update. No treadmill, no spinning bike, no yoga mats and free weights that only go to 35#. It's terrible to say the least. There are two small pools, neither one is used during the day as they are far from the beach. Miguel is the new chef who oversees the beach and main restaurant. As mentioned earlier, both breakfast and lunch are excellent. Dinner menu is a work in progress and needs refinement. We ordered from the lunch menu prior and service and food quality was mediocre. There is a lot of potential here. Most amazing about Imanta is their prices. Suites are half the price of name brand nearby resorts and food prices are less than half. Most likely the original owner, Juan Sahagun, created Imanta for his family and "extended" family so he kept prices more than affordable. Alas, it was with very sad news that we learned Juan passed away two weeks prior and Imanta is now run by his wife, Christine. I think Christine will eventually sell the resort and a high-end name will buy it, update it and double the rates. In the meantime, if you can skip the gym, book now while the season is hot and enjoy all the splendor of Imanta in it's original charm.

  A spiritual retreat

  My wife and I just came back from a 4 day stay at Imanta. This is the best getaway we have ever experienced, and we travel a lot. We were introduced through a 20 minute drive through thick jungle, and were met by two friendly employees at a covered cabana with fresh fruit drinks and wet washcloths. We were driven around the property in a golf cart and shown the amenities. It is off the grid where we were surrounded by pristine beaches and lush jungle. We were given amazing attention, and received customer service with a complete band of excellence. The facilities, natural beauty and friendly nature of the staff set a bar that no other place will ever beat. Christian Flores, Paulina, Joey, Marisol, Oswal, Alan, Luis, and the other staff were beyond amazing. The villas were our own oasis that could not have been better. We checked out as different people than we arrived as- due to complete stress reduction. And each meal was fresh, tasty and gourmet. We are already looking at our calendars for the next visit.
