Gorgeous mountain area near the beach. ##### Sileny Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley May 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Service was great. The property is beautiful. The only issue was Wi-Fi kept going in and out. But other than that, we were very happy. The town of Dominical is a minute up the road, it’s adorable. Manuel Antonio and Uvita are also just an easy drive away. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/22892e3b-88af-4eee-a890-4841e8bf6768-1747921671970.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1f890c9e-1432-413e-8572-a1e1cc900051-1747921670528.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4fd1a872-35e4-4174-83ba-ad4e9297b0c3-1747921670669.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/121f5605-f1aa-4f39-b4a2-ca192d0a9d50-1747921671493.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ashley Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristy Jun 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is beautiful and relaxing. The pools was amazing and not over chlorinated. There is plenty of wildlife to see on the property. The walking areas are covered in algae and slick in areas. However, they are in the process power washing it off. ##### Kristy Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruth Jan 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great place.

It’s got lots of animals and is far enough from town to be totally quiet but close enough to walk. ##### Eric Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard Sep 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Pretty grounds.
