This was a great place to stay! We loved the open shared areas and the pool. The rooms were clean and tidy. We thought the people running the place were so kind and helpful, really made sure that we felt welcome. It’s about a 5-10 min walk into town but also there are shops and cafes closer. The little restaurant attached was gorgeous as well.

I went to celebrate my anniversary with my wife and I loved the detail of putting balloons, roses and towel swans on the bed to welcome us. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely return. Thank you for everything.

The staff were so amazing! They totally go out of their way to make sure you are happy and have everything you need! They upgraded us to an ocean front suite for free as soon as we arrived. The location is amazing, right on the beach to enjoy the beautiful water of Playa Hermosa. There are a couple of restaurants and shops just up the street. The atmosphere is so calm and peaceful. Truly pura vida. Thank you so much to the staff for all your hard work and for taking care of us during our time there! It was a wonderful last couple days to relax before heading home.

We stayed at Destino for one night and really liked it! The place is surrounded by nature, and on a clear, sunny day, you can see three volcanoes. One of the coolest features of the rooms is that one of the walls is made of natural rock, giving you the feeling of being in a cave - yet everything is modern and well-built. The hosts were very welcoming too. Liz sent us lots of great recommendations for things to do in the area. You can also enjoy an outdoor bath with hot thermal water that comes straight from the ground. The highlight of the property is the cold river, which you can reach within a few minutes. In the Costa Rican heat, swimming in that fresh, flowing water was absolutely amazing. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking to immerse themselves in nature and quiet, while still staying in a comfortable and thoughtfully designed house.

La Quebrada was gorgeous, comfortable, and the pool was fabulous. The owner was very accomodating when we needed to change the rooming situation to fit our needs. The place is impeccably clean and the individual casitas superbly comfortable with quality beds and fun private outdoor showers. The best part: the small village within an easy walking distance is what Costa Rica used to be years ago. And the birdlife - getting up early, making coffee (provided) and listening & seeing the birds was a treat.

Paradise resort with great pools and remarkable service. I'd like to address some of the occasional negative reviews regarding the dining experience at this resort: This is a moderate priced resort in a high price country. The food is excellent and we loved it, but it is not the 5-Star gourmet dining you get in a 5-times-more-expensive french ski resort.

The location is stunningly beautiful. The Dome tent was spacious and very comfortable. The food was very good and the service from all the staff was friendly, efficient and could not be faulted in any way. Young Chris deserves special mention for his exceptional service and friendliness.
