All the staff were so great! Everyone always providing the extra service. They even surprised me with a drone video of me and my husband kayaking, which was a treat! However, our room phone and safety deposit box were both not working. Not a big deal for us but it’s worth saying. Overall, we loved our 6 days stay and hope to be back!

This is a super dated hotel, like circa the mid-nineties. My biggest complaint was the food. You SHOULD NOT eat the food here, I think my high school cafeteria had better food. The resort is just meh- if you are staying there on your way in or out, it’s fine- just not as the main event. There aren’t enough pool or beach chairs for all guests and the beach is super muddy. Another big complaint was that they forced you to buy a mandatory NYE dinner for $100/ person. This was easily one of the worst meals I’ve ever eaten. Ever. That said the staff is friendly- but this place just isn’t it.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The staff was great. The room was quite large and bed was comfortable but room definitely had a musty/moldy smell to it. This property is an older property and was once a prime facility. Its a bit outdated though the grounds are very beautiful and the location at the excluded end of the beach was lovely. The breakfast buffet and a la carte weekday menu was mediocre at best. The pastries were not fresh and neither was the juice. Both were pre packaged and low quality. The weekday a la carte breakfast might have filled the stomach of a ten year old..especially the fruit portion. For $230 per night the breakfast better be stellar...it was not. Nevertheless, im not overly disappointed but $230 value is a bit too much...maybe $150-175 max

Beautiful calm beach. Jungle garden property. Big rooms with garden patio. Nice pool area recommend having car to see area. Close to Hermosa and Coco beach also 1 hour drive to Rincon Area and 20 minute drive to airport. Cons-lounge/bar area could be set up to be more inviting. Could include bar seating, lively music, drink specials. Would also recommend having paddle boards for the calm water.

Such a lovely place. Low season and we had it almost all to ourselves. All the staff so friendly and attentive - Andrea, Sergio, Daniela - we felt like we were family - they greeted us by name, knew what wanted to drink with breakfast (which is included!), were ready to take care of whatever we needed. Food good - although a little pricey, but that is what you expect at a nice resort. There are a couple of places you can walk to (did for one lunch), but mainly just ate at their nice outdoor restaurant (has an air-conditioned section if you like, but we found al fresco rather enjoyable). Paddleboards and kayaks for a modest fee (we did the latter). Decent beach you can walk for a couple miles on, without much in the way of waves so easy to swim. And nice and warm water (late Sept). Howler monkeys, iguanas and birds galore all right there. And beautiful gardens. If you want to do a tour, while you are there, go with Freddy - he is amazing, particularly if you like wildlife. Did his rainforest and volcano tour - amazing and learned so much. His assistant Meme will get you set up. Pura Vida!
