"The property was beautiful and well kept. The beach views are spectacular. The entire staff from the front desk, wait staff, bartenders, cleaning crew, were all so welcoming, helpful and truly nice people. The resort is very peaceful and not overcrowded. The food and drinks were great. Our room was very clean and kept that way by maid service. Our family had a great time and can’t wait to go back"

"Our family of 6 stayed in the family suite for 3 nights. 2 double beds and a separate room with a king bed, 1 bathroom. The 1 bathroom was a little tricky especially in the morning and at shower time, but we made it work. Our only complaint for the room is no hot water for showers, but maybe this is throughout the property. We liked the food as it was more authentic than a different property we stayed at right before going to Condovac. We would've liked the buffet eggs at breakfast to be more cooked. We loved the setting being higher in the mountains, a lot of animals, a short walk (or shuttle ride provided by the property) to the beautiful beach and a little store right by the beach for souvenirs or to restock toiletries/snacks. The shuttle became a great option as we tired from walking up the steep road to the main part of the resort. The main part is where the pools are, the dining hall with plenty of seating, a bath house & workout building with weights and cardio equipment. We enjoyed the lizards and iguanas walking around the pool deck! Listening to and seeing howler monkeys! We wish there were more pool chairs/loungers. Too few of loungers for even half the guests to use. They were taken quickly and people were not shy about leaving a towel on it while they weren't using it for hours at a time. The 4 pools were very clean. Beautiful infinity pools! Wading area and shallow pool for younger kids. Staff was awesome 24/7!!! "

"This is a pretty good place to stay. The beds were very hard and uncomfortable but the hotel was clean. The breakfast was great! The biggest downside for us was that there wasn’t a shuttle to/from the airport so we spent around $45 getting that. They also charged us individually for an extra person that wasn’t noted on the reservation (my fault when I booked it) but that was an additional $35 just for the breakfast. Given those additional costs, I will in the future book a nicer hotel closer to the airport with a cheap/free shuttle. "

"I had a delicious ceviche that was served at the pool restaurant and very tasty cocktails 🍸"

"This place is amazing at its core. Legacy of a beautifully crafted resort and on the edge of a stunning jungle. They could up a little the service at breakfast (I had to ask several times for cream and went some meals with no water poured) and stick to entrees that they excel at, the pastries and crossaints are not their forte. But the staff was nice. They also could do so much more in the way of wellness offerings and that would make this resort such a destination. I also recommend having drinking water more available for guests. "

"Beautiful sunset dinner view. Albert grabbed an extra table and set it out for us when all others were taken or reserved which made for a lovely family experience. The kids would have spent the whole day at the pool if we had let them."

"such a great place to stay when we got off the plane everything was great and the customer service was excellent "

"Location is very good - downtown is walking distance where lots of shops and fastfood/ restaurants are located. Starbucks is just across the hotel. It is along a busy road some traffic noise is understandable. Check in was excellent as we were helped and accommodated efficiently. I would say staff in general are friendly and hardworking. The pool was great and providing water bottle refilling machines in the lobby was nice. The only downside was that the room was a bit outdated. I would recommend it for one or two nights stay."

"Great location.. hard to get to if you fly into sjo.. prepare for 1lane 3hrs and 54 min drive. The drive is worth it for the scenic views"
