Amazing place for the price and location! Ice cold AC, kitchen, pool, parking, and walkable to beaches, restaurants, and shops. The building is a little run down, there is no hot water, the walls are really thin, and there are ants, but at this price, we were very happy with our decision to book this. The staff was very friendly and great at communication. We had a couple of issues after checking in that were addressed and resolved immediately after alerting them. We'd stay here again.

Beautiful

The food left a lot to be desired. The first restaurant we ate at with our family was Spirula (the Italian restaurant). The temperature inside the restaurant was 85 degrees. It was so hot that we asked if there was anything to do to make it cooler. They told us they “turned it down” but it never changed. By the time we got our food almost 2 hours later, no one could eat because we were all sick at our stomach from no air moving and we had a crying baby that we had to keep getting up and trying to move to a cooler location. The manager there could not have cared less, and my husband asked to speak with the general manager at some point during the stay, (which never happened), because the manager at Spirula was so hateful. And the food wasn’t even good (how can you mess up Italian). Nothing done to try to make it right. The rest of the restaurants were just ok, nothing great. But for the all-inclusive price I would say go to Sandals, where at least the food is decent. There is only one breakfast place if you travel with children, so prepare yourself for that as well. There really isn’t much else to enjoy about all-inclusive there besides food and alcohol, so they need to do better in that regard. Additionally, you can’t really enjoy the beaches. We walked down one day and it was nothing but a sea of vendors and was crowded with some strange looking tents and like nothing I had ever seen on a beach before, so we just spent the time at the pool instead. The beach is not private and I understand allowing locals to set up places to make money, but it was so overwhelming that you honestly can’t enjoy the ocean at all. We typically travel well (Four Seasons, etc) but the all-inclusive just makes things so easy when traveling with family (our young adult children) so that they can just relax and enjoy. But I can say with all certainty that I would never go back to that resort.

Our family absolutely loved this property. It was a highlight of our trip. If you want to experience Costa Rica hospitality and wildlife, this is an awesome choice!

The room and the location

Nice atmosphere, not too noisy, family run and close to the beach. Bed was very comfy. More like a basic, rustic type of room .. nothing fancy, but good enough for me. Friendly staff.

Generally quiet, even next to the highway. We were greeted by the owner's two teenage sons. Clearly managers in training. The kitchen beside the pool was well equipped for our breakfast of cold cereal. There is a hot plate and BBQ which we did not try out. Both beds were pushed against the walls. We were able to move the double bed away from the wall and use the side chair so both sides of the bed could have a bedside table of sorts. Towels are thick, soft.and absorbant. Shower is slow to heat but then warm.

Location is amazing, staff wonderful. I felt that the showers are too small so you need to go back to the room in your towel. The room is comfortable but the light switch is at the other side of the bed.

The staff was outstanding. Very helpful, courteous, and informative.
