504 verified reviews

Loved most

  • Very clean rooms and excellent AC
  • Extremely helpful and friendly staff (highlight: Nathaly)
  • Lovely grounds, pool and garden areas
  • Breakfast and dinner included and highly praised
  • Excellent food (notably the steak)
  • Good beach access and beachfront annex with pool/bar

Worth knowing — Animal welfare concerns on the nearby beach (horses used for tourist rides appeared in poor condition) · Some guests avoided the beach because the observed treatment of animals detracted from the holiday

    Good beach access and excellent setting near the shore, but several guests were negatively impacted by animal welfare issues on the nearby beach, which reduced location satisfaction.

    “The whole experience was wonderful. We travel all over the world and this was our 1st time to Costa Rica. We both fell in love with the country, most of all the people. The staff at the hotel were wonderful, a special thanks to Nathaly the waitress, she was so nice and full of information that we used. She is a credit to your hotel. I think the Hotel was the highlight of our stay. We will be back and will promote to family and friends”

  • Kind, helpful staff. Clean, quiet room with excellent AC and view of the sunset! :)

    “Café da manhã completo em um restaurante muito agradável, junto da piscina que é muito bonita. A aérea da piscina é paradisíaca. Toda jardinagem e vegetação fazem parecer um verdadeiro jardim do éden. A comida é deliciosa, e todos os funcionários muito simpáticos e prestativos. A localização é excelente com acesso a praia e um anexo beira-mar com piscina e bar.”

    “It was a pleasure to stay in the hotel. Small, cozy, surrounded by beautiful nature hotel gave us a comfort and relaxation. The hotel is close to the ocean, and it’s an advantage. All staff is welcoming, and professional. Food is exceptional. I want to mention about activities (yoga, salsa, meditation, Pilates ) and all instructors deserve additional appreciation and respect. Thank you, Xaviera, Monica, and girl, who practice pranayama(I don’t remember her name, sorry). The hotel offers a lot of tours, and Silvia is ready to help. Thank you I highly recommend this hotel.”

  • Loved the wild life alarm 😅 beautiful waking up to seeing the monkeys in the early morning.
