The hotel is in such a beautiful location, the staff at the restaurant and bar were absolutely wonderful, aswell as the front desk staff. Only thing I would point out is to make sure you bring your own water as there wasn’t water bottles or etc. Poolside bar is wonderful too!

This property is stunning and built into a hillside with sweeping views of the ocean. When you arrive, you check in on the 5th floor, there is no elevator. They were not fully booked, but we were given a 2nd floor room. I will say it was way quieter down there, but it felt like going down into a dungeon to get to our room and no other guests were on our floor. Just ask for a 4th floor room if you don’t want to do a Stairmaster with all your luggage. No fans in the room, A/C wasn’t adequate, and it was hot in our room all night. Staff was helpful and friendly, the breakfast was typical Costa Rican fare. The location was beautiful and room was dated but ok, just think an elevator and some additional cooling in the room would be helpful.
