Tidy hotel with an excellent pool area and spectacular view. Breakfasts were also good. Negative Issues included too many bugs got into the room at night. Noisy room air conditioning. Not close to the beach and with a very high climb back to the hotel. Roads outside the hotel were terrible with potholes everywhere.

Possibility of bedbugs
When we arrived, our room was fairly disorganized, and the sheets indicated bloodstain. When I lifted up the sheet, I saw something that looked like a bedbug. Staff members were in the room with me and saw the same thing. However, they denied the possibility of bedbugs. When I complained, they said I could leave the hotel and go find another room, but that was rather impossible. There was no compensation for the discomfort and stress that we went through. The mattress was also quite firm. I did receive bites that had the possibility of being bedbugs. I have pictures of these bites. However, I was walking in the woods and so I cannot conclude this. The view is magnificent, the pool, terrific, but I was surprised at the lack of courtesy and compensation, for the discomfort that we went through. When we left the staff member said that the room at that point would be exterminated. This certainly increases the verification of the concern.

Great Pool area!
Had no clue that in order to reach the front desk to check in was up a pretty steep incline. Also after reaching the front we had to go up many steps. No bell man, no golf cart and parking up near the top was limited to about 6 cars with parking below the incline of the hill. It was not easy hauling your suitcases up the incline. Should be disclosed because many people complained. Some of the duplex units had many stairs to go up or down. There is an elevator for the main tower but still gotta climb the hill to get there. Waiters were not that friendly as they were in La Fortuna.

The views from this hotel are unmatched! A gorgeous property, and the staff is incredible. Everyone remembered your name almost immediately. The follow up from the staff on booking tours was amazing! We were very very happy with our stay and cannot wait to go back! I will warn, there are a lot of stairs on the property depending on where your room is and the property itself is up on a hill. This was fine for us because the views are worth it. We saw macaws, iguanas, and white faced monkeys all on the property. Not to mention, the most beautiful sunsets. The hotel is a short walk from a number of restaurants and they have a shuttle to and from the beach. We had a rental car and driving/parking was very easy.

Amazing hotel, we stayed 3 days with friends. Beautiful views from the top of the mountain overlooking the Pacific. Restaurant had good food and service was great throughout the property. My only complaint would be that there are only small TVs in the rooms and they don't aren't smart TVs with Netflix etc., so unless you want to watch Spanish cable TV, you are out of luck.

This was the most expensive hotel we stayed at during our trip, and was the least impressive. Other than the view, not sure why a basic room, that’s dirty with dead bugs would cost $550/night. Breakfast was marginal at best.

Amazing View but low standards of Service .
The hotel lobby and rooms have an amazing view . However the service at this hotel is like 1 star hotel. The staff is not considerate. It's like they are doing favor to guests by working there. They don't not let you check in even 5 minutes before 3 pm . At all levels they are just proving the basic service and nothing special .

Room and bathroom very clean (trust me I’m picky and a clean freak). My sunrise room had a breathtaking view of the ocean and sunrise over the jungle on the large balcony. The breakfast is included and was beyond delicious. They made fresh omelette and any style eggs of your choice, plus a variety of other items. The restaurant on site is available for other meals and was delicious. The infinity pool was breathtaking at sunset. There is also a swim up bar in another pool. The waiters do come to other pools and refill your drinks. The drinks were amazing and not water down. The staff was pleasant and eager to make sure you had an amazing time. I would definitely return 10/10 for cleanliness, location walking distance to town bars and restaurants. Thanks for making my stay amazing!

VERY friendly, helpful and approachable staff! Great food and beverages on property but a close walk to other excellent eateries as well plus a small supermarket, pharmacy and other services. A very nice breakfast to start the day, excellent omelets! The free shuttle down to the beach and park area and back to the property was very convenient and prompt. Room just as described on the site, excellent Pacific sunset view from our patio. Only kinda wierd thing is the "swim up bar" is actually not attached to the main pool but a very small, isolated pool connected to the upstairs bar serving the restaurant. We had an excellent time at this property and would return and recommend to anyone visiting the Manuel Antonio/Quepos ($10.00 taxi ride to the marina for fishing) area. Pura Vida!

Favorite Hotel in Costa Rica
We spent 2 weeks in Costa Rica traveling around the country and finished our trip by staying 5 days here. This was by far my wife and I’s favorite hotel during the whole trip. All the staff was extremely kind throughout the whole stay. Kendall, Aldo, Alfred, Luis, and all the others at the hotel made our stay so special. They take the time to actually know their guests name, greet you with a smile, and attend to whatever request you have. The views at this hotel were gorgeous. This property is located in a prime location and we were able to complete all our local excursions with most having pick up. Also, the rooms were very clean and modern. We had wildlife right outside our balconies being greeted by macaws, squirrel monkeys, and others. We ate dinner here multiple nights and the food was very good and fresh. It was very convenient for us on nights that we didn’t want to go out and find food. Overall, this hotel was so great and if we come back to Costa Rica, we will definitely be staying here again.
