“Lovely hotel, but extortionate food prices”
We are a family if 5 that stayed here for 4 nights at the end of our 16 day Costa Rica adventure. The swimming pools were lovely with a fantastic view out to the pacific ocean. Some sort of interesting wildlife visited every day (including Sloths, Coatis, Racoons, Monkeys) which was amazing! Rooms were immaculate and spacious. Nice games room (although please please invest in some new pool cues! Staff were excellent.

“A wonderful hotel. There is room for a little improvement.”
The vista suite we stayed in was absolutely beautiful with amazing views of the Pacific Ocean. The pool by the suite (adults only) was delightful. Breakfast was perfectly adequate with plenty of choice for all.

“Would have to be one of the best hotels in the area.”
Very happy with our choice of hotel to stay at. This delivers in spades - great facilities inc three pools, comfortable rooms, wonderful staff, parking if you have a car and excellent food and drinks. It is a hilly drive to get there from Quepos but is close to a local beach and has great rainforest all around it with its own nature walk. Staff are all friendly and obliging - nothing is too much trouble. Only ate at one of the restaurants but were pleasantly surprised at high quality of food and drink. A nice feature also was the self service laundry - something you do not usually find at hotels of this standard and useful when you are on a long trip.

“Fantastic hotel and amazing wildlife”
Everything. The facilities were awesome (pools, restaurants, minigolf, game room, trails). The staff was extremely friendly. All the wildlife was a great bonus. We saw sloths, monkeys, toucans and parrots right outside our room.

All the animals in the hotel Gardens was outstanding. We saw more animals here than in Manuel Antonio National park. Including 3 sloths in the tree by the pool and several Scarlet macaws and squirrel and white faced monkeys. Worth every penny.
