Great location for walking to several restaurants. The atmosphere of the property was very lush and tropical despite being close to the road. Monkeys in the trees were such an exciting treat to see. One thing to consider is you get ur steps in since there are a few. Good exercise so felt I kept fit for the 4 nights. The three different pools were a nice feature as well. Rooms were comfy. AC worked great and beds were comfy. Included Breakfast at the restaurant was delicious. Restaurant across the street “El Avión” was a fun dinner. Food was good with variety.

The rooms were cleaned regularly and spotless and the staff friendly, but what really stood out was the abundant nature. I saw more wildlife here than on all of the nature tours I went on put together. I saw 3 different types of monkey, iguanas and lots of birds including the striking fiery-billed toucan.

Stayed 2 nights, great location 15-20 walk to the beach but all downhill no clear side walk a bit dangerous with traffic not recommended in the dark. Walking back up hill is doable but can also taxi uber or bus . Restaurants close by went to YOLO great salad Live music .also went to Agua Azul had the panko Seared tuna highly recommend it was amazing. Room is decent no safe which I don’t like. Pool is nice and warm. Breakfast was good as well fresh made to order. Staff are very nice and very helpful. I would stay again and recommend.

I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel for so many reasons. We live it so much that 4 days later we returned to this hotel again! I also will not even consider another place when returning back to Costa Rica. Kenneth at the front desk BOTH times was so pleasant and made the experience just perfect. What an employee just added to the awesome memorable time we had ! I hope whosever reads this review truly considers this establishment as it was one of the best on all my travels around the world! Thank you for an amazing stay and we will see you again!

Property is looking good from outside, but rooms are extremely old from inside. For example, bathroom sink, toilet or shower are very rustic and old and seem to not have been renovated since ages. Everything else is fine and beautiful within hotel premise and surrounding and views from hotel room balcony are awesome. Staff is very nice so their services are good. Free breakfast made to order is also awesome and one of the positive for the hotel.
