*Just a tip* If you're bringing US Dollars I would recommend bringing a lot of small bills like 1s, 5s, and 10s. I made the mistake of bringing almost all 20s with me and then having to get a lot of change in Costa Rican currency, but since I was there a long time I was able to spend it all. Also, make sure the money you bring doesn't have any rips in it because they won't take it in the places in town. Also, don't be afraid to tip because they work hard and take care of you.
Oh, there is a little fridge in the room so feel free to visit a grocery store and stock up on snacks/drinks for those moments by the pool.
Restraunt breakfast was limited to cold burnt toast and eggs or pancakes or reheated beans and rice everyday. For fruits they gave half slice of papaya and 2 small pieces of pineapple and refused to serve you more. The attendant refused to give milk for coffee as well. Felt like I was paying to live in a prison.
No attendant on duty after 10pm. No hot water. Pool was dirty.Far away from main city. Tv didnot have any English language channel.
Overall very poor experience. Very disappointed with the adrenaline tour service as well . Won’t recommend both to anyone. There are plenty of better options to try .
