There are plenty of reviews here that outline painful and whiny details of all the things that can go wrong when humans try to invade nature on an island or in the jungle. I will spare the reader the complaints, and simply say that some people should not travel to a tropical island or swim in the ocean or travel into a Central American jungle if they are not ready to face heat, humidity, seaweed, salt water, mosquitos, and thousands of other things that have killed people for millennia.
That being said, Victoria House is absolutely a heavenly oasis from the viciousness that is mother nature. It is beautiful - from the rooms to the villas to the pools to the beach to the food to the spa to the round-the-clock security to the bar and down to the fitness center - and none of it is by accident. The staff is friendly, hard-working, personable, and particularly helpful (we had both a misplaced iPhone in our room, and a wallet returned to us after leaving it in a taxi). Despite everybody's insistence to try local food (which we did), we had 10 meals at Victoria House over a week's time and not a single one of them was bad.
It goes without saying that Victoria House earns every dollar it charges and we were more than happy to pay them for the best vacation we have had to date.
