"Great location , fantastic accommodations, incredible staff….go see Elias and his crew for drinks at the pool bar for smiles, laughs and the meaning of Pura Vida!"

Condovac la Costa

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved Condovac the property was beautiful with an excellent view. It was my husband & my honeymoon & they made it very special for us. Our view from our room was spectacular. We did come to this all-inclusive with low expectations due to some of the bad reviews, but it absolutely surpassed our expectations. Because the low price we spent extra money to eat dinners at other restaurants along the beach for dinner. But our breakfasts & lunches were wonderful at the Condovac. The whole resort was almost empty & we basically had the pools all to ourselves!! Thank you for a wonderful stay!"
