Beautiful property! Stunning views, very nice people and workers. Quiet place to relax which is exactly what I was looking for. I did notice that it could have been more clean… pool, terrace, fabric pool chairs. Other than that, not complaints!

Swim up rooms were nice to have, we stayed in 505, right in the middle so we could see the ocean as well. Breakfast was prompt and nice to have, choice is limited as it’s not a buffet. Coffee doesn’t start until 7:30, none for the room. Property needs updating but views make up for it. People that work there were kind and prompt as well.

We got the hotel on Expedia with breakfast included But the breakfast is scammed, they don’t allow you to have coffee ( in the country like Costa Rica that they have lands of coffee) they asked to only have one cup of coffee and for second one they charge you ( can’t believe they offer free breakfast but only one cup of coffee with small size of cups) The pool was not cleaned at all was lots of sand and trees leaves at the bottom of the pool The bathroom inside the room was not clean like the picture on the website and the towels was so old and over used which you don’t feel comfortable to use Anyway, wasn’t worth it to pay for this hotel

I was very disappointed with the conditions of this property. Very dirty hallways and rooms. When I checked the bed sheets, they had blood stains ( old blood stains, not washed) other stains. No amenities in the room or bathroom. The towels were so old and over washed and bleached. The views from the hotel are amazing and so is most of the staff.

You know when you meet someone online and their pictures are old or heavily filtered… similar to this hotel. The property is beautiful but definitely taken years ago. Could use some new paint and a deep cleaning in the room. Pros - beautiful location, incredible views, lobby, pools and the private beach is a black sand beach. Beds are very comfortable (but firm, if you don’t like firm you will not be happy) Easily walkable to town as long as you realize you are booking a place at the top of a hill. Very safe location and town in general. Cons - this is the only place in Costs Rica we went to that didn’t have good service. Everyone we encountered seemed annoyed. Also the only place we had some language issues. In CR you can usually get by with English but most employees only spoke Spanish AND pretended they didn’t know what you said if you didn’t speak Spanish fluently. Free breakfast was good but you can only have ONE cup of coffee OR juice. Very odd. The casino is no longer open. Tons of jelly fish on the private beach but not the main beach

This proper could be a diamond in the ruff, beside being up the hill. Beach is a long walk up and down the hill, but nice and private. Pool is nice but needs some attention. Pool area was never cleaned up, shouldn’t be too hard to sweep off daily or at least every other day. If you get food out there no one comes to take condiments and dishes out of the sun, for hours.The grounds need a good clean up or maybe they’re blind to the old leafs etc just lying around. Lobby and bar and restaurant nice and clean. Maids could do a little better at fine detail cleaning but over all rooms were good. They need some new towels and bedding , very old and didn’t look very clean. It’s a shame they don’t put some effort into cleaning it up. This property really lacks maintenance and maybe a proper management. Other wise was a good stay it just a shame. Had the Land and Sea dinner last night was very good. I probably wouldn’t stay here again.

This property is absolutely nothing like the pictures show, it’s very dated and not kept up on. There is no gym nor casino, the pool was super dirty as well as the hot tub. The linen was dingy white and don’t bother asking for fresh towels. We booked a king balcony with sea view, received a balcony with very very little view due to overgrown trees and to boot, had a family room with two beds. We asked for the room we booked and were simply told they don’t have any other rooms available, we booked it months in advance so not sure how that happened. Continental breakfast you’re limited to 1 beverage and the cups are small. There is a reason why there is absolutely no refunds so keep that in mind when booking.

Unbelievable view over the ocean and surrounding hills. The property was very clean. The on-site restaurant was great for any meals, snacks or drinks. We had one of the swim-up rooms, and it had everything we needed. The bathroom had obviously been renovated and updated and was very nice. My only recommendation for the hotel would be adding a safe in the room and bedside tables/lamps. There are several beaches and lots of restaurants within an easy walk (but it is on a hill, so you will earn the cervezas). Checkin/out was a breeze and all staff we met were very friendly. My only complaint is a lack of coffee for the in-room coffee maker. We had 1 package for the first morning and were told that was it. I think for the price, that policy should be amended. Overall I will still give it a great review.
