We paid for all inclusive and the drinks and food was very limited and not good. Water bottles for our room are not included i asked the bar if i could get some he said no i could drink the water from the sink in our restroom or i can purchase some from the bar, our shower water was cold even after i mentioned it to the front desk several times, the bar is only open from 10am to 10pm, no room service, no snacks, dinner ends at 9pm and there is no food available after that, they did offer a continent breakfast the first morning of our stay when i asked why they didnt have one they told me because the didnt book many of their rooms so there werent a lot of people there. Worst hotel experience we've had.

We paid a premium for the treehouse room. Looks great from the outside and it is a huge empty room, with a really comfy high bed which was great but the standard size air con unit couldn’t deal with the size of the room and it remained stuffy and hot inside. This in mind, a fridge would also have been great to keep food and drink fresh. With the size of the room it would have been great to have some shelves or ledges to put luggage on rather than stoop down to the floor to access your bag - obviously this is only if you do not want to unpack everything as their was a drawer. The treehouse was also at the far end of the complex, so far from reception, restaurant and pool it required a drive - which is fine, but there was very little parking spaces available. One could always walk as it is not that far but you would get eaten alive by the mozzies on the way there and back. For the price, you would expect a full compliment of toiletries rather than just a single 2in1shower gel and a small soap packet. The towels were changed every day which will have to mark down the eco friendliness too. We stayed three nights and the promised breakfast buffet was only available on the last day - I guess because there was a coach party arrive and the other days there was not enough guests to warrant the buffet. The provided portions on the non buffet days were slightly inadequate. Other than that, it is a beautiful, tucked away, quiet little complex.

The bugs are very bad. Its hard enjoy the food because the flies and ants are already eating before you. It wasn't many options for food. I wasn't informed of them having chicken tenders and fries until my 5th day of stay (remind you I had my 5 year old with me)

Fabulous place. Very clean. Staff very courteous and helpful. Only drawback open air dining, while beautiful and clean draws lots of flies and other insects. Fans turned on would have helped. Butterflies and poison dart frogs, iguanas and pretty birds. Loved it. Very worth the price.

Picturesque lodgings surrounded by the rainforest. Wildlife roaming the property. Friendly staff. Excellent rooms. Small swimming pools but very clean. As in the rest of Costa Rica it is difficult to obtain transportation to nearby places on your own if you are not on a tour. Overall we had a wonderful stay

The room smelled old and musty. The door didn't seal well, allowing bugs or anything to enter under the door. The food was good, but definitely over priced for that quality of resort. The atmosphere was peaceful and definitely a "jungle" setting, which was unique. Small pools, nice river access. It was a good 1 night stay, but i wouldn't want to stay any longer than that.

Sufficient for our purpose
Very clean and comfortable. Authentic Costa Rican experience! All-inclusive resort for locals but our reservation did not include meals and it was unclear if continental breakfast was included or not. Either way, the 6am breakfast was not what we think of as continental and it didn't appear open. On-site dining was not as good as other places we have stayed. Would have liked to explore the grounds more but we stayed one (rainy) afternoon and night on our way to the airport for departure. Promising, and perhaps will give it another try.
