This is a very clean hotel with incredible views. It has a great bar and restaurant on site and the pool overlooks the ocean. My only regret is not staying longer.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room was great! Amazing place to relax. The hotel lobby and restaurant is a perfect place for a family.
This was my absolute favorite place my kids and I visited in 12 days in Costa Rica total. The staff and grounds were phenomenal. We want to go back- not just to Costa Rica, but also specifically to this property that just… felt like home to the hearts.
This property is very relaxed and welcoming. The staff are highly attentive and really take care of you while you are on site. The addition of the animal sanctuary makes it a very eco-friendly destination.
We stayed for one week during which the surrounding jungle and wildlife were the stars of the show.
We loved our room, as well as the staff who were so helpful during our three day stay. Breakfast was amazing, and the view, unbeatable! We plan to go back sometime it was that good.
Amazing ocean views!!! Food is excellent as well as service provided. Room is so comfortable and clean. Temperature around the area is excellent (because of location above see level -- around 100mts).
The property was fantastic and the views are stunning. Super nice pool with fantastic service! Highly suggest a 4X4 if conditions are wet. The staff was absolutely wonderful when we checked in!
Beautiful mountain view of the ocean from private villa & the restaurant. Staff is friendly & helpful, food is delicious/gourmet & bonus! Location is right next door the the wildlife sanctuary (highly recommended, very informative & interesting).
I had a blast. It feels intimate and not too crowded. It feels serene yet close to many beaches and restaurants. The staff were wonderful. Would definitely be back here!!
Very nice hotel, excellent food and great staff. We very much enjoyed staying at the hotel and will definitely return. The villas are excellent with a lot of space and great views. My only recommendation would be to add air conditioning in the living room/kitchen.
