10/10 Exceptional

The resort was just amazing. Cleanliness 10/10 and property was gorgeous. Staff were very friendly and courteous. They pay extra attention to details and you can’t walk away not feeling better connected with nature and yourself. The beach is not crowded at all and the water was warm.

8/10 Very good

Beautiful, new hotel. The D2D staff were nice and friendly. We travelled with 2 girls, age 4 and 7. I was disappointed that the kids club “guppies” wasn’t in service with no alternatives. It was listed as a service during the booking. We wouldn’t have stayed there if we knew. When I asked the front desk all they offered was an expensive 3rd party baby sitting service. I got the impression sometimes they’d prefer this be an adult resort. I travel a lot but don’t normally write reviews but I wish someone gave me the heads up about this in advance. Love Costa Rica and the people.
