Josué at check in is great ! Our room had some black mold on the bathroom ceiling. But the hotel was also being repainted so I would think that will be taken care of soon.

Good location, beautiful view, poor breakfast
Mostly I would recommend this hotel. Staff is really helpful, room was relatively clean, mattress okay, good pillows. The fridge inside my room did not work but they a nice coffee machine which was not in the pics. Bathroom was clean and the balcony was lovely. The downside of my room is that you can't really close the doors of the balcony because the bed is blocking the way. You need to be quite strong to move the bed if you don't want to wake with the sunrise at 5 am. Breakfast food was edible, but not tasty. The view from the breakfast area is breathtaking and it was worth the poor feeding. It can be a bit tricky to find the hotel but it is well located if you are using Waze.

Slightly off main road - 2 minutes - giving a quiet and unhurried experience. My room had an ocean view. Avery good breakfast is included. I lucked out and the second night we had about a 30 minute rain in the evening, a perfect way to begin to drift off to sleep.

4/10 Fair

Breakfast...
There was no one at reception to get breakfast in the morning because we were not placed on a breakfast list and they thought everyone had been served. Asked for the traditional plate, the tortillas, tomatoes and sour cream were not included as stated on the menu, we were later explained that the menus were out of date. Asked for two fried eggs, yolks were burst on both. The next day I specified not to burst the yolk and make sure they were cooked over easy. They later explained that the eggs were "bad quality" (concerning) and this is why the egg yolks had burst and why they weren't able to bring the eggs over easy, clearly the cook did not know how to prepare eggs over easy. Prices for food were overpriced at $13 per plate. There was a leak in the room as well. Beds were comfortable, TV was decent, air conditioning worked, shower had warm water but fluctuated to cold due to some malfunction. Pool was enjoyable and not too crowded for the most part. If I hadn't gotten an Expedia discount for the room I would've been very upset paying full price.

beautiful torture
the room was beautiful. the climb to and from the room, pool, and restaurants was torture. I have severe arthritis and chronic health issues. I stayed in my room most of the time, because I couldnt do the climbing. the service at the restaurant was the worst ever. and the food was just ok. none of the wifi links ever connected to our phones. no matter where we were on the property.

The staff are true professionals and literally go out of their way to make your stay fabulous. They are warm and friendly making you feel genuinely welcomed. We had only booked one week but the staff's outstanding way of being, made us decide to book our second week here as well. Tucked away from the main road's noise & busyness. You can wake up every morning and have a delicious, hot, and free breakfast with a spectacular ocean view. We highly recommend this hotel.

Amazing view
The reception guy who checked us in was lovely and friendly & gave us some good v advice add to where to spend the afternoon. our room was lovely and big with an amazing view over the jungle tip tree sea. The only thing that let it down was the slow service from the bar/kitche and not the best breakfast but good for Costa Rica. One thing to look out for is the turning been onto the main road is on a corner and its hard to see cars coming.
