Beautifully appointed rooms with private plunge pool and view of ocean. Staff very courteous. Breakfasts included in rate were excellent. We ate dinner at the hotel most nights for convenience and because the food and service was good. The main drawback of this hotel is that it is too far away from Santa Teresa and the main beaches to walk so you need to book taxis ( $20 each way), rent an ATV or rent a car.

After reaching the property it’s up a massive in paved hill it’s incredibly pretty with amazing ocean views. Mariano and David greeted us and the service was incredible. The villa had a pool much larger than a plunge pool, it was our own small private pool. The breakfast was awesome so were all the different juices. Definitely recommend this property.

Firstly, the staff are what makes this place shine. Oscar, David and Andy made our stay very enjoyable. They demonstrated excellent service and were accommodating. The food was excellent but the choices were limited and the menu didn’t change during the 8 days we were there. I would have liked to have more options. We did have a mini bar and in-room snacks but there is no price list so be careful in what you consume or you can get hit with an extra bill. Fortunately we had a car and were able to have numerous dining options in Santa Teresa. The grounds are lush and beautiful. We stayed in the casita called Ultra. The casita was large with an attached infinity pool. The view was spectacular. The interior was nice but areas show wear and tear. Particularly the pool where tiles are missing and the pool was not cleaned while we were there. The main pool by the restaurant seemed to be ok but we didn’t use it. Overall, the room was tidy but far from pristine. There is minimal lighting in the bathroom and no natural sunlight so it was dark. Lighting in general in the casita was poor. The biggest problem for us were the 131 stairs we had to negotiate to get to/from our room. I was not warned ahead of time and because my husband has had a stroke and doesn’t walk well, it was very difficult. Additionally, there is not enough lighting along the stair path and is not safe because there are nothing to hold onto. This is not a place for anyone with orthopedic issues.

Muy buena experiencia
En general una buena experiencia, las habitaciones podrían usar un poco más de mantenimiento pero nada que afecte la estadía. El plus de tener la pequeña piscina en la habitación es demasiado bueno. Queda Perfecto para estadía en pareja (hotel adults only). La ubicación del hotel está cerca de MalPais y de Santa Teresa, no para caminar pero a 5 minutos en carro. El restaurante: el desayuno muy bueno, pero n mi caso estaba incluido, buenas presentacion, buen servicio. El staff en general fueron muy amables.

Amazing property, very private and limited number of people at the resort which was nice. Having your own dipping pool was great. You were able to hear and see the howler monkeys from your room which was cool. Staff were friendly and super helpful with all needs. The property is close to town with lots of restaurants to choose from. The town is not as commercialised as Tamarindo which makes it better. The area has lovely beaches (Santa Teresa) - and every sunset was amazing! Would recommend a good car (4WD or SUV) as driveway/road to property is steep and a mixture of broken concrete and gravel. If you can get a shuttle to the area, i would recommend that and then hire a quad bike at the property or in town (its around 70-85$ per day).

The room was extraordinary. Beautiful view and very private pool, also with great view. It was in the least expensive room category but was likely the most fantastic room in which we have ever stayed. Lots of beautiful birds and surprisingly nice monkeys, squirrels, iguanas, and even an anteater visited our property. We would return in a heartbeat.

Karen arranged rides, rentals, directions, suggestions, reservations and was so friendly and efficient in caring for our needs. Andy, Jodie and Alfredo were great waiters but so much more.

Absolutely awesome having a private plunge pool! Staff was so friendly and helpful. We consider them our friends by the time we left. Loved that it was adults only. Nothing worse than sitting down to dinner with a kid screaming next to you. Food was good. Only negative was the portions were small. Fabulous massage girls will give in room service. Definitely recommend this place!!
