This property was better than expected. We thought it was more of a bungalow vibe but it was much more upscale. The staff, restaurant, accessibility to the calm beach, the lovely pool all added to a delightful beginning to our Costa Rican adventure.

Beautiful pool area, but it was always hard to find a chair and the waiters were very inattentive. The beds were really comfy. We liked the food and were very happy with the food package we booked.

Great location - right on the beach and an easy walk to restaurants, etc. Our room was comfortable and clean, and had a balcony with view of ocean. Great restaurant - Roberto's - on the premises. Food and menu selections were very good for both breakfast and dinner. One of my favorite parts of this hotel was all the varied spaces where one could sit outdoors: at the restaurant right on the beach (or up under cover out of the sun); on the upper level where there was a small pool and a great view of the sunset over the water; and at least one area on each floor with a couple of chairs/ loveseat/ coffee table. Highly recommend!

A fabulous ensemble of musicians with a female vocalist were playing Santana on stage in the outdoor dining area our first night there and it was FANTASTIC. The breakfast is complimentary and has a range of items to order from bagels to crepes to Tico, always with fresh fruit. The dining staff is wonderful. The swimming pools are deluxe. We had a little balcony where we could observe and listen to birds and occasionally the howler monkeys. We walked to the beach every morning and evening (about 5 minutes) for sunrise and sunset. It is a long stretch of beach used by local families and you can always find shade in the early morning. Our room was so spacious, a firm yet comfortable mattress, air conditioned, small kitchen area, clothes closet with hangers, and a large bathroom area. Towels and linens were very nice. There is a safe in the room.
The resort was nice, pool was refreshing. No premium drinks, a bottle of Crown was $90, and only 1 brand of beer. The food at the buffet wasn't the greatest. Fish was dry, salad dressings were odd or just oil and vinegar. One day I had a poached egg and the yolk was hard and the whites were runny. French toast was hard and tough on the outside and soggy on the middle. You could only eat in the specialty restaurants once for every 3 days of stay.

It’s a beautiful place if you’re looking to relax and enjoy sceneries. It’s very Humid there but, worth it. It’s not much of a party place if you’re looking for a younger crowd to hang out and have fun. Also, some of the excursions involve a lot of hiking. So, bring comfortable gym shoes or water shoes.

We loved the time of year, the rainy season. There were few travelers, and it was hot but not as hot as the dry season. We did not have trouble getting chairs by the pool. The staff was friendly and helpful. The place is beautiful.

Loved that it was adults only. Everyone staying at the hotel were really friendly, we spent hours in the swim up mini pool chatting. Private beach with kayaks (free), massages (on the beach are cheap and good!) and jet ski’s. Howler monkeys live on site eating the mangoes and the largest iguanas we saw on holiday too. The food buffet was good for vegetarians but lacking in protein but this was true for everywhere in Costa Rica we stayed. It is on a hillside so expect to walk a bit around the property as it’s a big place. Room was lovely.
Excellent buffet style restaurant open all day plus choice of Japanese, Mexican, Italian restaurants and pool side options like BBQ and burgers etc. All the staff were really helpful and friendly. The whole grounds and facilities were spotlessly clean and offered maximum comfort. Lovely swimming pools with plenty of sun loungers and cabanas. While we were there we also used the spa, gym and booked day trips. We would definitely recommend using the hotel for organised trips as all drivers and tours guides were knowledgeable and reliable.
We picked this hotel mainly due to the choice of restaurants and also because it had a big swimming pool, gym and spa. We were not disappointed! The food was lovely with something for everyone and we visited all the different restaurants during our stay. The swimming pool area was relaxing even over the busy weekend when there were more guests on site. The gym was well equipped and the spa experience very enjoyable. It has to be said that the polite, cheerful and friendly staff really made our stay very pleasant.
The food was fabulous, delicious, and artfully prepared, there was a vegetarian vegan menu, and the desserts was amazing. The staff was so gracious and giving and friendly. Loved seeing monkeys from the hotel room. Enjoyed the many pools. One of the pools was of normal width yet super long, really fun to do long laps in. Enjoyed the fitness center.
Nice facility clean and witnessed staff all day doing cleaning and maintenance to the property. Several food options. Daily entertainment throughout the whole day and evening. Nice walkable beach during low tide. On the Eco walk saw monkeys great guides.
Things we loved:
•The ocean view room
•The tour booking service staff ( JJ and LARRY-the best!)
• car rental in the hotel
• security at the gate
• friendly restaurant staff at the snack bar and buffet
• pools and amenities (coffee and drinks)
Very nice hotel/ resort: well maintained, very clean, very friendly staff, very good food in several restaurants. We stayed for just a few nights during our Costa Rica trip, so definitely recommended for short stays!
Nice rooms, according to description, very clean, everything included for a hotel of this category. Beach is small, but nice and pools are clean - everything perfect
The hotel has a friendly, polite and helpful staff. The snack menu was super good, plenty and delicious. The hotel has a big property with 2 huge swimming pools
