    Birthday Getaway

    There was not enough staff helping at the front desk in the lobby areas. Once we met and engaged with other staff associates in the restaurant and pool areas, the staff was excellent. Room service wasn't always available but they did make sure that we had supplies when necessary. The activities were enjoyable. The crowd was very laid back and older in age so it wasn't as I expected. Their pool volleyball is the most excitement. There is a daily activite schedule posted and on their website for your convenience. The view is amazing. Their selection of food is 50/50 depending on your choice of style. It's best to do an all inclusive because the menu is all day with drinks included, until dinner and room service is at your own cost. They also have vans that take you back and forth from your room to designated area on the resort. It was my birthday and I enjoyed going on an excursion and seeing other parts of Costo Rica. My best experience was the waterfall.

    Awesome stay even though it rained

    This is a late review because I think my first one got lost in the shuffle. We had a great stay even though it rained a lot !! I mean a lot of rain out of our supposed 7 day stay that turned into a 10 day stay we had 3 days of sunshine 🌞… but we made the most of it. I can’t say enough about the staff, they are wonderful Ariana and Alison from the entertainment dept they were great I made bracelets with them and had so much fun. The bartenders are good and very attentive. Our room was ok a little dated and could use a bit of updating in terms of better night stand lighting … there was only one night stand lamp (wobbly and old looking) and it had the dimmest bulb so very hard to read at night so a better lamp and bulb plus a lamp on each night stand would be better. We enjoyed the food at all the restaurants, my favourite was Himatsu and seaside grill Adrian was the best waiter and Christian was also awesome 🤩 We will be back but not in the rainy season lol Kudos to all the staff … you work very hard and the resort can be very proud of your hard work and dedication

    Perfect place to relax

    This is the perfect place to relax. The entire hotel is so calm. There are such amazing views from most spots in the hotel. The buffet has many options, and the food has great taste! Also, the snack bar has a good amount of options to choose from between meals. The premium bar has the best view, and it’s such a perfect place to sit down, play domino or cards, have a couple of snacks and drinks. The rooms are spacious and the bathroom is very nice. If you like quiet calm places, this is perfect! This hotel is not a place to party, it’s a place to relax and enjoy.

    Great Varity of Activities

    Yasniri, the entertainment coordinator is excellent. She has a great personality and went out of her way to make the experience nice. She's full of energy and motivated. I come to this resort because of the activities and hills. A great workout if you want it.
