Find Hotels with a Pool in Boca Barranca

"The food was great, especially the international and the Latin restaurant! The breakfast buffet was the best! The staff were also very friendly and attentive! Mattie, the sweet cook that made our eggs every morning was just amazing! She was always smiling and happy to be cooking for us. Francis that greeted us during the breakfast buffet was also fantastic! So cheerful and very welcoming! We did not stay on the premiere side so our room was dated but we still had a great time at the resort! If you want to upgrade and have a better room then pay extra to stay on the premiere side. We do not stay in our room long enough to really care about that! The beach is not for swimming but we went on an excursion to Isla Tortuga for the best beach experience! A must tour! The resort has many pool games and activities but just know that it is mainly in Spanish. We wish it was more in English but we still had fun participating in some of the activities! Overall, we had such an amazing vacation there and highly recommend it! "

"We stayed at the property for 1 night primarily because we heard good reviews of their zip lines over waterfalls and thought it would be more convenient. Ziplines were definitely the highlight and our family really enjoyed it. The route up was quite the adventure as it was steep and very very rocky. The tour not only included ziplining but a dip in one of the pools at the base of a water fall (no towels) and a rappel down a waterfall. At the time we went was dry season so the waterfalls were not in full force but still nice. The actual hotel location is quite remote therefore if you are looking to eat your only options is to stay eat there. The rooms and facilities (I.e., pool) are quite dated and could definitely use some maintenance compared to other locations that we stayed throughout Costa Rica (I.e., lamps didn’t work or were falling apart, bunk beds were squeaky/rocky and right next to the air conditioner so didn’t feel safe having my kids sleep up there). Pictures that they use to advertise the property don’t align with current reality. The one property manager who worked during the day/night and guides who did the zipline were helpdip but found it strange that as we were one of the only families staying onsite that the owner who was around didn’t actually come to greet or smile at us. Also one night we needed to call out to a 1800 number (insurance company) because our son had an infection, but the hotel was not able to support that. "
