Lovely resort and perfectly peaceful. I had the room right by the pool, very clean, and peaceful. Staff were really kind and accommodating and the pool is ok to use until 10pm, and it appears to be heated, perfect to cool down in the evenings. The rooms/almost little bungalows are great, they have a small lounge area, a little kitchenette... More

This was our last hotel on a discover Costa Rica tour on which we had been spoilt! The hotel and grounds were great and the beach club lovely but without a car a taxi into town cost $25 one way and the restaurant menu wasn't vast. They need to bring some of the food options at the beach club to... More

My fiancee and I had a wonderful time and a great experience. They made us feel welcome and the weeding planner Maria Jose Montoya really gave us great tips and made us feel confident about having our weeding there, she was very caring, great service, awesome facilities, delicious food and drinks, and very professional staff.

I spent 4 days at this lovely resort at the end of a 12 day 'discovery tour' of Costa Rica.

My wife and I recently stayed 5 nights in a one bedroom junior suite with kitchen. The unit is within a cabin (modern/sleek) that has a second unit (a more standard hotel room) as part of it that is rented out separately. Conversely, a larger family (or another couple) could rent both units as there is an interior door that... More

This is set in a large private estate where there are also properties to buy or timeshare. The hotel itself is very well kept and the room we had was spacious with a TV and fridge and a large bathroom. The reception staff are very helpful although they won't give you tips to get away from the area economically. We... More
