Nice hotel but overpriced for what is on offer especially if you are places in the older rooms above the reception area. Our room was very loud as it was above the restaurant and the screen door feel off. Staff were awesome and moved us to a different room for the second night. Great location and nice grounds but there are nicer options in the area around Playa Carrillo for a similar price.

Nice hotel, not pleased and a shame we were notify or in expedia it did not said they were renovating the main pool! We were looking for a nice quiet stay for our daughter to study during the weekend and us to rest which was not possible due to the loud noises of the renovation plus constructors workers having loud and uncomfortable conversations

First time in Costa Rica
We are enjoying our stay of 6 nights.Wonderful hotel and staff. Everyone is very accommodating and helpful with our many questions and desires. Breakfast is fantastic. The gardens are beautiful. It’s safe and quiet and clean. Some but not all tours pick up here. If you have a car that’s not an issue. Some of our time was spent lounging poolside after a morning event ( very hot during our visit). You can’t go wrong with a light lunch or drinks poolside. Great spot to chill before resuming your adventure in the late afternoon. Note:If you drive here come through Nicoya. The other road is bad. Waze wants to take you on the other road.
