I am a Hilton gold member so this might sway my review a little. The food... I was worried from reading the reviews that the food would be terrible. My boyfriend enjoyed the buffet so much he was sad to leave! I learned what to eat and there were many stations where there was freshly cooked meat or dishes. We... More

We stayed here as visiting family in Puntarenas and this is probably the best property around. Rooms are okay, clean and adequate. Although all inclusive we didn't eat here too often. Drinks are light so you end up drinking more. The main pool is pretty cool so for a family with kids this might be an okay place. The weather... More

Beautiful location and very economical as an all-inclusive. Right on the beach with a nice pier and very scenic. I loved the breakfasts and pizza at the snack bar, but was not too crazy about the dinners. As far as booze, I didn't recognize any of the alcohol brands; they were definitely not top shelf. I enjoyed the swim up... More

Just finished one week vacation here. We have 4 days off for excursion, so we just have two full days in the resort. We are in building 1, the amenities are really old, but I believe nobody want to stay at room for most of time when you stayed at an AI, and the most important things are still good,... More

HH Diamond member reviewing, but not much of my stay gave me a benefit over anyone else. Booked in Bldg 3, but moved to Bldg 2 after 1st night and seeing the difference and wanting a separate room for our 2 kids. Thought the rooms were comparable. Thought the food and drinks were really good. We're not "foodies", but we... More

My aunt & I just returned from here & had a very nice time. Its location is somewhat out of the way for exploring, but its spot on the beach is very pretty. The beach itself is not a "white sand" but a darker grayish & there was NO ONE on the beach other than a few surfers. The pools... More

We were there in October 2012. Very disappointed. Had to move 4 times in 5 days because poor room in building 1, building 3 had no air conditioning, no water for over 8 hours, floor flooded on second floor, etc. It was so hot and the food sat out all day in the heat. Beaches are not good. Was warned... More
