Paradise!

by Marie V

The place its really clean ,bed and ac actually works but I think it's too cold anyway it has really nice weather. The pools are amazing the staff at the restaurant its incredible friendly! We'll definitely come back !

Nice but the stay was too long

by pdamac

This is a nice property but we should have only stayed 2-3 days as the tours are based on a specific number of people for the most part and it seems they are a bit hard to fill during the start of the rainy season. We did rent a car and drive to Ostional to see the green Riddle sea turtles but missed the main nesting as they apparently do most during the full & new moon cycles. Also went to the pacific coast around Playa Hermosa to snorkel but its more of a dive spot due to the lack of coral (our bad not Costa Rica's),
All the staff are very friendly and polite which is always refreshing. The food was okay at the resort but not over the top by any means. The beds in our room were in serious need of a mattress change and were very uncomfortable but the room was cleaned daily by the friendly staff.
Bottom line would be that this is a 2-3 day stay and move on.
