8/10 Very good

Overall good stay!
Overall it was a good experience. The room was nice and the breakfast had many options. The only issue was with the dinner service. Our waitress didn’t speak English and brought us the wrong wine three times and then the wrong bill. It was very difficult to communicate. Other than that our stay was great. The room had mini fridge and a balcony which we enjoyed and good air conditioning.

Amazing property and great location!
We had an amazing stay!!! It is a beautiful location and property and a major plus is having the path to the beach. The path itself is very beautiful. The pool area is an awesome place to watch the sunset. We thought it was so cool to see monkeys playing in the trees right outside our balcony. And there was a sloth and toucans at the beach! Staff were very friendly and helpful as well.

4/10 Fair

We booked this Hotel mainly for its private beach, however the beach was rocky and muddy. The people working at the beach was very aggressive. The rest of the staff was very polite and professional and breakfast was good quality.

Happy in Costa Rica
Hotel was very nice. Enjoyed the restaurant and the staff throughout the property were friendly and helpful. There were 2 pools and one was adult only which was nice. The only downside was the hike down to the beautiful beach and worse the hike back up. However, don’t let that stop you from staying at this very nice property
