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 #### Ramesh Dec 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This hotel and its staff are amazing.

Love this place ! Will be back soon again ##### Christian Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Cesar May 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities El lugar es hermoso, la tranquilidad, las instalaciones, la vista. La pasamos súper bien. Lo que sí me parece bastante excesivo son los precios de la comida. Lo que pagamos por la cena de 2 personas fue lo mismo que el costo de la noche. En San José ni en los lugares más exclusivos se paga tantísimo. Eso sí la comida estaba deliciosa, somos de visitar buenos lugares porque nos encanta comer bien, pero si considera que el precio está muy alto. ##### Cesar Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Jan 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Most amazing property and staff ##### David Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalie Dec 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing Stay! We had an amazing stay. The hotel didn't have our reservation when we arrived but they took care of us and found a room without question. The property is stunning with lush landscaping and a beautiful infinity pool. Our room we super clean and extremely comfortable. ##### Natalie Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura Jul 8, 2024 El hotel es pequeño y acogedor.

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 #### Yilian Jul 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities La atención fue súper buena , todo el personal muy amable y servicial es hermoso el lugar todo como aparece en las fotos ..
