The hot springs pool was absolutely wonderful! And we even had it all to ourselves during our stay. Plus, the temperature was nice and comfortable. There was also a beautiful, peaceful, little pool next to the creek that we enjoyed. The property was really lovely and immense. We took a very long hike up for a good view. They did not have the restaurant open for dinner when we were there. So, the staff offered to drive us to and from a restaurant that had a nice atmosphere and good food. And you can hear the rushing creek/river from just about everywhere on the property!

The pool is excellent the beachfront is nice and the rooms are decent especially the shower. Our room was not cleaned once during a 3-day stay and the breakfast while free is of poor quality. We made several requests of the staff and they were able to fulfill some of those.

Is a beautiful place indeed the nature is breath taking, but few misses like the internet signal didn't reach oor room and the place is in a remote area so no internet also. Plus the 50 dollars per day for a dog a bit expensive. The rest amazing, friendly staff great views great food o recommend it

The hotel is great. Big, surrounded by nature, trees, a river, 2 excellent swimming pools and the staff is very friendly. Our room was simply perfect. The restaurant is a joke, a bad joke. They got almost nothing to serve. They dont even show you the menu because 70% of the menu is out. So you will eat what they got, not what you want. Quality of the food not good and terribly expensive.

Quel lieu ! Un vrai havre de paix au cœur de la nature, qui nous a permis un moment de détente entre amoureux pendant notre roadtrip au Costa Rica. Les piscines thermales sont à parfaite températures. Je recommande vraiment de réserver 2 nuits minimum ou de prévoir quelques heures à profiter de cet espace (pas juste venir dormir) car ce serait passer à côté de quelque chose ! Merci à toute l'équipe pour votre accueil. Camille et Aurélien

Un goût de trop peu

En ne restant qu'une nuit nous n'avons pas pu apprécier tout le potentiel de l'établissement. Toutefois nous avons bien profité de la piscine d'eau thermale bien chaude pour se détendre. Le restaurant est correct mais sans plus les portions sont un peu trop grandes. Les chambres sont spacieuses, la literie très confortable. Le site est magnifique. Nous aurions aimé rester plus longtemps.
