The resort was very nice with lots of amenities. Staff were friendly and had a good nature trail. We were able to spot a three toed sloth very close to the swimming pool. Only suggestion is to improve the breakfast as not much choices and always the same every day.

Great location and a very clean room. The staff, from check-in to check-out, were extremely courteous and helpful. Umbrellas were thoughtfully provided in convenient locations throughout the property, which was especially helpful during the sudden downpours we experienced on a couple of days. The buffet breakfast was excellent. The rooms were conveniently located, making it easy to get around either by walking or using the golf carts, which was a nice touch. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay.

The room was spacious with ample tables and drawers. AC works well. We love the pool and amenities such as walking trail, pickleball court, drop off service to biesanz beach. The food at the restaurant was too salty for us and rather pricy for the portion they gave.

Beautiful resort, I couldn’t recommend it more. You will definitely see tons of animals. If you have a balcony room, they have amazing views. Truly, you don’t even need to leave the property to get a wonderful look at the wildlife of Costa Rica. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Finally the food was absolutely amazing! I’m a vegetarian and there was always something I could eat. Pools were great too. It’s a great place for couples or families.
