The views of the ocean are breathtaking but it’s literally on top of the highway so you hear and smell trucks and ambulances. ##### AMY B Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam Jan 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Heaven This place is amazing and wow what a view! Staff is extremely friendly and beds are comfy.

It was an enjoyable vacation, very relaxing and the food was delicious! The view is spectacular and it is close to beautiful beaches in the area. We highly recommend because the staff was so helpful and friendly! ##### Tracy Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James Jul 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities View is insane. Stunning. Short drive up a long road which is unusual for Costa Rica. Beautiful lobby and rooms. Well appointed rooms with everything you need. The staff are rockstars. They do it all. English and Spanish spoken by all. Franciso, Michele and Roxanne are an asset to the hotel. They understand service with a smile and learn preferences quickly. Right next to Ojachal and minutes away from Uvita. You won't want to leave. ##### James Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Joanne Jan 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Spectacular infinity pool overlooking ocean.

The view are amazing. The staff was absolutely fabulous; every single one of them was attentive, kind and helpful. The food was spectacular! ##### Anastasia Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mellisa Mar 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing everything!! The chef was outstanding. The place was so clean and comfortable. ##### Mellisa Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keely Jul 1, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff was so sweet and accommodating. The property was pristine along with the pool. Food was amazing every meal. Wildlife is very active (monkeys, birds, geckos, iguanas, scarlet macaws, butterfly’s, frogs etc). I always felt safe on the property and would recommend the largest suit to anyone who wants more privacy and quiet since the other rooms you can hear everything within the hotel. There are 3 beautiful beaches between 5-12min driving distance from the hotel. The staff recommends Playa Ventanas but I would recommend Playa Piñuelas apart of the Marino Bellena National Park. Very quiet beach that’s easier to swim or body board at. ##### Keely Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joshua Apr 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Amazing little hotel We LOVED this hotel. It's beautiful, has great food, check in was easy - but the service really made our stay great. They went above and beyond to take care of us, and the manager Rebeca was responsive (all hours!) to ensure this was the case. So highly recommended! ##### Joshua Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darlene Feb 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This hotel was beautiful, the room was large with a lovely king size 4 poster bed. We had a great view of the sunset every night from our patio or from the spectacular infiniti pool. We also enjoyed dinner at the hotel one night and the food was very good. The included breakfast was prepared fresh to order. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service. I wish we would have stayed longer! ##### Darlene Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren Feb 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Gorgeous view with the friendliest staff!
