Los Altos is a wonderful small hotel with a wide variety of rooms, all of which are incredible. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Andres checked us in and showed us around the gorgeous grounds. He was extremely professional and helpful for our entire stay. The rooms were clean and had all of the amenities we could have possibly wanted for our stay. The food at the on-property restaurant was delicious and reasonably priced. Overall, this hotel was a fantastic experience and a great value. 10/10 recommend!

Beautiful location and views, but mixed service levels. Built on a hill, transportation is needed to visit the beach but their "shuttle" is usually not available. Turn down and cleaning service might not show up and is poorly done. The service team is friendly and well intentioned but they are badly understaffed. The overall feel of the place is of a tired worn out timeshare hotel long past it's prime.

Los Altos is a wonderful hotel. The grounds are beautiful and like others have said, the wildlife is better than the National park tour! We loved our spacious suite. The food was great and the pool and beach areas were awesome. The only suggestion I would make is to have better communication regarding tours/transportation. The advance bookings were made through a series of emails and we never got a one sheet PDF with what we booked and payment information. We also needed a lot of cash since we asked to pay for these directly. Small tweaks would really make this smoother and aligned with other CR resort tour experiences. Overall, highly recommend!
