The property is amazing and the staff was always really friendly and kind. Breakfast was great. The only thing that I can say is the access to the beach is not really easy and not the most beautiful beach I seen in Quepos , we went to Manuel Antonio park and we get to see a really beautiful clean beach. A good improvement will be ATM for all the guest at the hotel

Great hotel, Edgar and Javier are incredible. They hooked us up with a hot breakfast everyday! They also gave us great recommendations on what to do each day. Only thing I would say needs improvement is the plumbing. Toilet struggled to flush more than twice a day and the shower has a weird smell after a while. Room 323 thank you!

The hotel is situated on a steep hill, which may pose a challenge for guests with walking difficulties. The rooms are clean, and the staff is friendly. We really enjoyed the family pool; however, it was unfortunately closed for maintenance just two days after our arrival. We were able to use the adult pool, but it was smaller. The beach is accessible from the hotel, though it requires a long walk. The complimentary breakfast buffet was good with fresh fruit and juice. However, we found the prices on the dinner menu to be a bit expensive compared to other restaurants we visited.

The property was fantastic. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Free breakfast every morning. Sparkling pool bar located at the pool and you can order food and have it brought to you poolside. The resort has their own spa to have massage. They also have an office to book excursions at very reasonable prices. Please note the resort sits on a steep mountain so you are walking up and down a steep incline, however you do not have to walk up and down if you do not want to they have a golf cart service that comes for you within one minute when you call or have the staff call it for you via Radio. The beach is down a steep path lots of stairs, but it is absolutely gorgeous. Clear blue water. It's in a cove so it's pretty much waveless which I loved. They have a large pool for everyone and a small adults. Only pool.
