I am so glad I booked this hotel! The aesthetic is amazing, the beds and pillows are super comfortable, the salt water pool is heavenly, the breakfast is fantastic, and the staff is loving and friendly. Lunch and dinner options are great too and fresh smoothies from the bar were a treat! You will not be disappointed.

Alles gut geklappt, Personal sehr freundlich, Betten bequem, Fruestueck gut. Enttäuschend war lediglich die Tatsache, dass die gewünschte Ruhe durch das ständig laute Telefonieren einer Person gestoert wurde, die vom Personal gar NICHT darauf angesprochen wurde. Das Hotelleben spielt sich um den Pool ab, genau wie die lauten Telefongespräche der genannten Person.

Bien pero faltan especificaciones y consideracione

En general es un lugar muy bonito pero no me gustó mucho que no especificaran que el baño privado no está dentro de la habitación. Las habitaciones son bonitas y tienen todo para pasarla bien pero falta aislar el ruido ya que al estar cerca de la alberca se escucha todo.

Very unique rooms. They are very concerned about outside food or drink; i biked all morning and til about 2pm came back to change to go to beach, i had a water bottle from outside with me and was gicen a funny look and quickly asked if i wanted a drink with a nod at the water bottle. I explained i was heading to the beach as soon as my friend was done changing. I cant believe no outside food also includes water. They dont even leave you a cup in rooms.

What’s not to like about this property and its staff? Everything was excellent and then some. Would like more options for dinning but then again I’m not a meat eater so it’s always difficult to find food whenever I travel, so that not on them, it’s on me.

Amazing, clean stay

All of the facilities at the hotel were extremely clean. They had workers cleaning all day throughout the place. The bathrooms were sparkling and fresh even being shared restrooms and showers throughout. The breakfast was a nice buffet with many options to suit everyone. The pool was absolutely beautiful. One last plus, the rooms stayed very nice and cool with their own AC unit. This was by far the nicest hotel in puerto Viejo! We would be back for sure!
