"Séjour de 19 jours qui fut très agréable! Site exceptionnel aves accès direct sur playa Langosta, rocheuse mais fréquentée par les surfeurs. A 15 minutes de marche par la route, ou 30 minutes par la côte, de la magnifique plage de sable de Tamarindo. Chambre vaste et très confortable. Piscine bien entretenue et jamais trop occupée. Plage avec un coucher de soleil spectaculaire! Faune sur le site : Réveillés tous les matins par les singes hurleurs qui traversent le site de l’hôtel. Les petits perroquets chantent dans les palmiers. Les iguanes se promènent sur la pelouse. Personnel toujours très aidant, tant le personnel d’entretien des chambres et du site que celui responsable de la salle à dîner et du bar. Un merci tout spécial à Carlos [de Granados] qui était dévoué, souriant, de bonne humeur, et toujours intéressé à améliorer son français! Il a rendu notre séjour encore plus mémorable!"
