Stunning resort! Great pool, beautiful rooms and lush gardens, wonderful food. After we just arrived we went for a walk on the beach and found a nest of turtles hatching (daytime and off season). The most amazing experience, better than any tour we did in CR!

The room and the beach were amazing. The food was really good. The service is slow maybe because of limited staff during my visit. Highly recommend

Beautiful location with a lot of potential. Sweet resort pets. Diana is an adorable host. Cleanliness of the room.
The price is way too high, even though we got an upgraded room, we saw the price on booking was 25% less than what we paid. Breakfast included in price not nutritious enough.

Part of the reason for staying here was the free breakfast. However, when we got to the breakfast, there was just a meager selection of pastries and some bread you could toast and coffee for free. If you wanted anything lease, like eggs, you had to pay for it. It was very deceptive to advertise a free breakfast when it was little more than a piece of bread.
The rooms were clean, but really dark. The ceiling was open at the top dividing the bathroom and sleeping area. You couldn’t see over, but it makes it uncomfortable using the bathroom. The pool also needed some lighting. It was a nice pool, but we swam at night, and I hit my knee on one of the little drop offs because there was no lighting.

The location itself, although very remote, is stunning. The beach is empty and the scenery is just beautiful! Very quiet and a relaxed pace of life.
First of all, if you expect a 4-Star hotel, this isn't it. It might have been many years ago, but overall the place is quite run down. We had issues with a swarm of angry, wild bees living in the roof just above our room & entrance - swapping rooms was made out to be the BIGGEST inconvenience, as if it was our fault that we don't want to get stung. The breakfast was a joke - just some sad pastries, everything else has to be paid separately. We also left a baseball cap in the dining area, at first staff said they'd found it, but then suddenly it had disappeared... Overall, although the location is stunning, the hotel itself is not.
