This property was truly wonderful. The staff made it the best - Angie, Alejandro, Alex, David. They made this week very special. I highly recommend the indigenous hike, a meal in the nest, the nocturnal tour and the canyoneering. We were with friends - we were two adult women and two 1; year old daughters. We felt so safe and loved every minute!

The staff was very aloof in general. The workers at the front of the property did not greet me when I walked in. They looked at me when I drove up then continued to talk amongst themselves. The check in person also seemed uninterested in me when I asked her any questions. It took me 20 minutes to get a beer at the pool bar with one person in front of me who had ordered a beer also. The property itself was very nice. Room was nice, pool was nice. I can['t say anything bad about the site. There was ample restaurants across the street which gave us many options for food. My only disappoint was the staff

This is the second time we've stayed at this hotel, we decided to give it the benefit of the doubt based upon our first experience since we liked the pool. Once again, we were put in a room that smelled mouldy, and my wife woke up with a sore throat. The food at the restaurant was once again horrible... they didn't even have bacon for the breakfast buffet, and at dinner I was the worst tuna steak I've ever had! My wife reminded.me.that the dinner was bad the last time we were here as well. No one came to check on our food, and when I explained my concern at checkout, the person at the desk was not empowered to remove the charge for the me. He took my email and assured me I would hear from someone, but the same thing happened last time, and I never heard from anyone. We travel to Costa Rica often, this will likely be the last time we stay at this hotel unless.they make some effort to make things right.

Horrible place to book

My flight was canceled from Ft. Lauderdale to San Jose on 04/08/25, disrupting my entire trip to Costa Rica. I phoned the hotel on the 15th to cancel a reservation for the 21st (a week in advance) and was told NO REFUNDS. The flight cancelation was totally not my fault and beyond my control but they opted to keep my money. Greed and lack of any empathy. Stay away from this place!!
