I was looking forward to relaxing here after a busy tour. It was just average unfortunately. I liked the pool and beach area. Our room needed renovated and the chain kept breaking on the toilet. The breakfast buffet was sub par and the dinner buffet was not much better although they had a good salad bar. The other restaurabts on property were better and for some reason we could nit eat at one of the restaurants. It is suuposed to be all inclusive. The beach area was confusing. You couldn't get towels unless you were a "member" we had to get towels up by the pool which we didn't know. It was quite a hike from the pool to the beach.

We stayed there for two nights and wished we had a longer stay. We loved the pool and the walk up bar. We ordered the pizza and a club sandwich for lunch, both were very good. We 2 dinners in the dining room. The highlight was the fish soup, which we all ordered again the second night. The prices were very reasonable and the quality was very good. The included breakfast was a la carte with a good variety. We did a 10 minute walk to the beach where we swam and had a great time.

Upon arrival Elevators not working, Ground Floor Lobby Bathrooms not functional. Two of the elevators were repaired after 3-4 days of our six day stay, bathrooms not repaired or reopened in the six days. Advertised as steps from the beach when in fact it is almost a kilometre and no shuttle. Restaurant is a joke most of the items on the limited menu were not available to order and 70% of the time the meals were either under cooked or burnt......Good place to lose weight. During one day of our stay a group of about 100 locals were bused from San Jose to this location for the day 8-6 and took over the pool area making the area quite crowded never mind polluted (remember ground floor washrooms out of order) The pool is not handicapped accessible as there are no railings to enter or exit the pool. Service in English was very limited.…

This hotel was Ok but no entertainment and Wingbuddy our tour operator put us there as a replacement. The hotel has only 1 restaurant and nothing else. The public beach is almost a kilometer away on a busy road. The food menu is bar food and is pricey. We were scammed by Wingbuddy and their reps. travel excellence. This is a 2 star hotel that is the worst in the area. You have to book a taxi to get to Jaco beach for $60. US return. The hotel rents to local families with tons of children and asks you to be quiet after 8PM. All the guests except the locals complained about being left in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Upon arrival, the place is incredibly loud. The pool is right by the rooms and they have very loud music that goes all the way into the room. Then, we had reserved a room on a first floor due to a blind person. They did not reserve for a blind person. When making a claim the lady said, “it’s your word against mine”. When going into the room, the smell is terrible. We found that the piping for the building is exposed within the room and there is where the smell is coming from. Finally, there was clothing from the previous guest still in the room. All the way this was a terrible choice and an awful place to stay.

Beautiful hotel, great food, and friendly service! Complimentary breakfast was a bonus and very tasty! Saw the tree chickens and parrots! During the week was great because their was only a few guest! Liquor store and local mart is literally 500 feet from the hotel. There is a ice cream stand right on sight!

I do not understand why there are poor reviews for this place. We all had an excellent time! Place was clean, people are friendly, food was good. It’s a great location because you are only 20 minutes from Jaco but you don’t pay tourist prices. We will stay here in the future if we come back to this part of the world.

We went as a family of 14 including 2x 3yr olds and a 7 month old baby. Facilities : v clean rooms with 1 rubbish bin and 2 recycling bins, aircon, balcony with chairs, coffee maker, bottled water, hot water, tv, glasses and mugs. Food: Fabulous. Great service at the restaurant, a huge variety of food for all tastes including a chef who prepared pasta and/ or eggs(depending on time of day). There were lots of CR dishes avalaible which was fantastic and lots of fruit, vegetables and fresh bread. (I just wish they had tortillas). Good variety of drinks too. There was food available at the snack bar and drinks from pool bar where you could also get granizados. The tables were kept clean and the friendly staff made sure all used plates were removed quickly. There were lots of high chairs for the little ones. The swimming pool was clean and a good depth for children and adults. The (amazing) beach was about 600km from the hotel, we saw monkeys etc. At the hotel we saw macaws flying around over the trees and lots of birds. Entertainment : excellent live music and a magic show for children. The only thing I would change is that the magician would move on with the times and stop using a pigeon and a rabbit in his show. This is just not OK really. But otherwise it was fun. All in all we had a fantastic time. Its not easy to please lots of ppl with different tastes and needs. We were all really impressed with everything and loved the food which we though was great value for money. Would definitely recommend. …
