Beautiful area of Costa Rica. The beach was great, and had plenty of seating. It is public, so just know there are vendors, but they do not bother you repeatedly. The dining was good, and we enjoyed the Asian and Italian restaurants. The lobby bar bartender was fantastic, as well as the bartenders at the swim up bar. We stayed during the rainy season, so I don’t think it was as crowded as high season. We never had a problem getting a chair at either pool. The only issue we had was housekeeping. We had zero towels in our room when we checked in, and they did not bring any until the next day even after we called twice. They also repeatedly took our towels and did not replace them with new. We had to leave a note for housekeeping to please leave towels. Other than that, we had a great trip. It was the perfect size resort for a short 5 day trip.

I really wanted to LOVE this place but there needs to be some major improvements. Let’s start with the food. I only ate at the buffet twice. Dinner theme was Caribbean ( 2nd night ) and it was so far from Caribbean food. They had snapper which I was excited for but it was sooo dry. Then I did breakfast my last morning and the selection was devastating. I also ate at the snack bar after spending most of my day in the pool so it was nothing too special but better than my dinner at the buffet. They also have selective service depending on what you’r wearing. I booked for The Grill and the food was amazing ( steak, potatoes, vegetables and bread was the best thing I’ve had ) Every other meal I had was room service and Antonio was truly amazing. The entertainment was dull. All the fun stops at 7pm unless you want to sit in the disco and hope that the dj plays something you can relate to. The transportation around the resort really needs improvement. You can either wait and pray that someone drives by you to give you a ride or have someone call and wait for pick up. I don’t recommend walking unless you’re a gym rat due to the countless hills. And depending where your building is, walking is out of the question. I did experience some rudeness by the bartender in the snack bar. And was even served last after arriving 2nd to the bar. That was the last time I went there because I know my temper. However the rest of the staff were friendly and courteous. Would I revisit.. no !!

While I truly appreciated the kindness and attentiveness of the staff, the resort needs a complete overhaul. The rooms are very large - probably the largest I have seen, but it needs updating. My sheets had some kind of black stain on them which I asked to be changed. The napkins at the buffet table were all stained. The food was subpar at best and only had one restaurant that had good food - The Italian. The snack bar had the same food every day; pizza, hotdogs, hamburgers, plain pasta, chicken wings and some salads. The pools are so old that the tiles are coming off and people Pick them up and leave them on the side of the pool. The pool by the beach with lounge chairs in the pool have not been cleaned and there is a ton of black grout lines - which just grosses me out. The resort should warn people about the all the raccoons that come to your door. I had two baby raccoons just look in the window of my room and just stare at me. Also, most of the resort does not have air conditioning. The restaurants were so hot that a waiter gave me a napkin with ice and told me to put it on my head. I had to call the front desk a few times because my room was too hot. All in all - I would not go back.

The property was nice, but little things added up to making the experience less pleasurable. Staff rarely smiled and rarely interacted with guests, the pool had excessive mildew on the tiles, posted activities such as pool aerobics and pool volleyball did not occur (I was told I had to ask for someone to do it), and the food was very average. 4 days in a row I was unable to exchange my beach towel for a new one due to none available and 2 days I was unable to order room service because no one answered the phone. ( I tried over 6 times each) If you are a premium member, the top shelf liquor is only aviable at the Premier bar which is extremely far from the pools and is limited. The bartenders were not very friendly and barely made eye contact. Nightime entertainment is limited to a disco, karoake, and sometimes a violinist. Overall, I did not feel very welcomed.

Could be better
The hotel structure itself is beautiful- I believe they could do a better job on promoting their area online when it comes about service unfortunately I can’t say the same. I felt overall service was “stingy” not an extra towel or toilet paper in the bathroom. Very minimalistic and when asked their cleaning service doesn’t start until 8am which is pretty hotel for a hotel.

The resort itself is beautiful! The nature and beach is what makes it. There are monkeys and birds that you'll hear and see if you're lucky. breathtakingly beautiful. It's walkable but they have shuttles available which were handy during the rain or when carrying luggage. There is beach access. The beach is public.. was not crowded when we were there. The food was mediocre. buffet style. They have two restaurants but you could only make a reservation once every three days and the food still wasn't that good. The best thing I had the entire time was a pumpkin ginger soup from one of the restaurants. I don't think any of the drinks I had besides 2 actually had alcohol in them. Better off ordering wine or beer if you want to feel any effects of them. During our trip, the entire city lost water. However, the way the resort handled it was unacceptable. They weren't forthcoming about the water issue, did not offer any solution or accommodations. They were checking people into their rooms and not even mentioning there was no water!!! We finally complained enough and asked for a new room to shower, Finally they put us in a new room. After that they called us and told us they needed to move us again. We refused unless we were compensated, so they let us stay. Shortly after that the power went out. Came back on after 30 minutes. The final night it was out for hours. The country is beautiful, would not stay at this resort again.

Upon arrival to this property, we thought that it was beautiful being promised on the premium luxury level a private check-in. We sat and waited in line to check in with every other person for almost 2 1/2 hours by the time we finally got our room keys we got up to our rooms. We did not get transportation mind you we carried all of our bags to our rooms ourselves, Are we down to the front desk to let them know and they said that they would be sending somebody after waiting at the room for almost an hour and a half we decided to go down to the premium bar to get a drink while we waited for them to fix our AC in your room, We went to the premium bar and ended up by the pool, returning to our room about six hours later that evening, only to find that the AC had not been looked at. We then traveled all the way back down to the lobby for them to come and fix our AC after having somebody come up around midnight they left around 1 o’clock in the morning from fixing the AC and the AC was finally blowing cooler air, but was not completely fixed. Then, Tuesday morning, we left the resort and went off into Costa Rica to see the country upon returning. We found an immense amount of ants running through our bathroom., We called the front desk to let them know and they said that they would send somebody they never sent anybody, Until later that evening the next morning, we woke up early Wednesday morning, and left the resort to go on an excursion upon returning from our volcanic sulfur mu

Upon check in, initially we were told private check in and that did not happen. We got to our room and had no hot water. Told front desk and nothing was done. Second day and still no hot water. Third day and resort lost all water completely for 28 hours. We were told multiple times it was the entire town that was out and that was not true. Some buildings had water and some didn’t. 28 hours without water. 4th day water is back on but still no hot water. We got back to our room around 2300 to find our ac unit had fallen off the wall exposing the black mold behind the unit. They had us move rooms but did not assist us with moving our luggage during a rain storm. I had contacted front desk multiple times daily about the hot water and they told me they would send someone up to fix it but this never happened. Front desk was absolutely zero help. We will be getting our money back from this resort. The hotel is extremely understaffed rude and not helpful. The food at the buffet and restaurants were cold and tasted like it was cooked the previous day. Stay far away from this resort. Rumors going around that the resort is on its way to closing. We had to leave the resort for meals because the food was so bad. I will say the food outside of the resort was amazing.
