Had a great time with the family inc young kids. Lots of pool time and beautiful views of the volcano. It rained a lot, as expected, but that didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves at all. We kept most of the activities to the AM and hung around the property in the PM.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (601 reviews)
We had the absolute best time the second we arrived! We arrived after a 3 hour drive from San Jose and immediately greeted by reception with 3 refreshing welcome drinks that were delicious! We were then shown a toucan with a telescope by the pool which was such a nice way to begin the trip. We ate lunch at the Bosque restaurant until our room was ready and enjoyed our lunch, drinks and desert! Once we checked into our room we were all in awe as this was by far the top 3 room/properties we have vacationed in. We enjoyed the heated pool and jacuzzi and after jumped into our amazing shower! The property offers nightly nature walks at 6:30pm to see all the reptiles and animals who are immersed around the property. We enjoyed breakfast on property every day as this was also included in our stay. Overall this was an amazing place to be, we highly recommend, we also have a lot of inspiration for design to bring back into our homes. Lastly, I was able to enjoy a relaxing 90 minute massage and facial mask which was again an amazing experience, especially as you can hear the nature and rain in addition to spa music. 100/10 would recommend, we did stay in the jungle luxe tent for reference.
