Resort is very lush and retains the natural setting of the native land. Every amenity is within reasonable walking distance. The beach has volcanic sand and the ocean is clean. Not much to see while scuba diving but there are ancient lava flows, various exotic sea creatures and sting rays...be careful not to step on one. The beach is public so there is no life guard and the vendors tend to be a bit annoying. However we met a few who were genuine and had serious deals on excursions. The only excursion we took was to Nicaragua to see the lava inside the crater of Masaya volcano. This was well worth it and a once in a lifetime experience. Ask for Tony Expeditions...
The food was excellent as the fish was very fresh and the beef was superb. Sea Bass at the Mexican Restaurant and the Rib Eye at Seaside Grill...
The rooms are updated and very clean. Each has a balcony and hot tub with a view.
The only downer was the communications aspect. We had to ask several times for certain amenities and resolutions. These were not taken care of timely. Other than that I can see my family and I returning as we all enjoyed ourselves with sun, beach, eating and relaxing...
