10/10 Exceptional! (4 reviews)
Noah's Forest is truly a gem. It is incredibly clean, beautifully landscaped, and everything is modern. The restaurant was great, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It is a truly luxe experience. If you're comparing different places, book this one. If I find myself in CR again, I would go out of my way to stay here again. PS - we booked Noah's Hideaway which is a somewhat more private section of rooms of Noah's Forest and I think the rooms are a little nicer. It was confusing for us to understand the difference between the Hideaway and Forest just from the photos and websites online.
