The best place we’ve stayed during our 3wks in Costa Rica. The hotel has white colonial style rooms, set in beautiful tropical gardens and a wonderfully landscaped pool, all fronting the Pacific. The breakfast was good and the staff were all amazingly friendly and helpful. We also had a great deal for our stay so it was excellent value for money for the area.

We loved that the beach was right in front of the property. Alejandro, the host, was super kind. Communication was quick and he helped us with everything that we needed. He made our stay (2 adults, one 5 year old and a baby) very comfortable. Parking is right on the property. If you are interested in fishing, the beach is amazing to catch some nice fish: there are roosters, jacks, trigger fish, blue runners, mangrove snapper and more... Locals there know how it's done and fish there daily. They are kind and can help you out. If there are plenty of sardines in the water, safe your time with artificial lures. Get some sardines and fish on the bottom. You won't wait long for a bite ;)

What an AMAZING hotel! The location is perfect, just a 1 min walk to the beach through stunning jungle on a private path and a 5 min walk to shops and restaurants. Everything about the hotel was perfect for us, the room was beautiful and we loved the private outside space to sit and watch monkey, birds, iguanas & geckos while enjoying a nice cold beer. Both pools were very welcome after a busy day exploring and the food was delicious. I think the best thing about the hotel was all the staff! They were so friendly, always happy to chat, very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. It’s clear they all enjoy their jobs as they were always smiling, happy and laughing with each other giving the hotel a very friendly and relaxed feel. Ines and Nikole on the front desk in particular went above and beyond helping with restaurant suggestions and bookings even sending me menu’s from a number of local restaurants so I could check there would be something my fussy son would eat! Not to mention telling us the best place to go to find local handmade souvenirs.

Great location just steps from a huge beach where you can decide if you want to stay in a beach bar among people or walk a bit and be pretty much alone. Very friendly owner who is happy to help and advise with any question you might have and is also great cook if you want to order e.g. a special dinner :)

Overall, the hotel is pretty great and the owners are lovely. It's very quiet, the rooms are nice and the beds firm. The owners cook their own meals at the restaurant, it takes some time but it's very tasty. For the money you pay (which is half the price of most villas in the vicinity) it's a steal. Right on the beach, close to the main road and a bunch of places to eat. The pool is large, bigger than most tiny hotel pools, and is cleaned regularly. Rooms are also cleaned a few times a week. There are howler monkeys living in the trees right next to the hotel.

The food was wonderful, the bed was very comfortable and the swimming pool was great. The staff was helpful and attentive. The sunsets and views were stunning. Loved the hammock on the front porch and the ocean view. The outdoor shower was a real treat, showering under the stars is a unique experience.

Beachfront but very isolated. Many of the staff are exceptional and bend over backwards to make guests happy (Joelle, Sofia, Rosanna are all phenomenal), beautiful premises, peaceful setting, staff very responsive to requests and needs of guests, quality of food is high at on site restaurants. An all around wonderful experience. Would likely return but off site excursions are needed and this is a very remote resort, but on a very beautiful and special piece of property.

The hotel location and grounds were fabuloius. View excellent as were the sunsets Dinner was good and quality was acceptable Recommend going to the Tiki Hut which is on the beach 15 mins drive in Marbella. Good food and drinks at sensible prices. Great staff (except concierge), which was a saving grace. Arianna in particular was attentive, chatty and always jolly.
