Firstly the hotel has a giant grasshopper problem, the issue being after sunset they would appear and once disturbed would erratically fly into you making for an uncomfortable stay. Mindful we are in Costa Rica and nature is part of the experience, this very much felt like an infestation and the hotel seemingly do not have any inclination to try to address the problem . Our experience was made worse by not being warned of the problem, upon leaving our room on the first night we were unexpectedly set upon by these insects. The lifts at the property were very dirty and it is very obvious that they do not form part of any cleaning schedule. The breakfast for me is a big miss, cold hot buffet and limited choices. This being said I believe it is included in the price. The room was relatively clean with daily housekeeping. The bathroom is super tiny and our shower did not work properly (as I understand this seemed to be an issue in most rooms). The towels could do with changing which are threadbare and clearly have reached the end of their life cycle. Ignore the timing displayed for the shuttle bus, this will leave when full and there are only limited seats. The hotel pool is fantastic.

Wonderful and responsive staff under very stretched by the end of the holiday they kept positive if not smiling quite as broadly the only thing that could have been better was more help for them. What did suffer under the service was the quality of food for the special Christmas eve dinner it was a good menu but cold and obviously pre-stored this also pointed to understaffing. The wine was very good.

Room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom is small. Breakfast is a good selection. Staff is friendly and speaks English well. The pool is clean and very nice. There is a free hotel shuttle to downtown and to the beach club. I do recommend using it as the drive although short is chaotic with people, cars. Of the shuttle isn’t able to get you for some reason you can get a short taxi.

Beautiful Mountain View of the ocean. Open air lobby, entrance to rooms, and restaurant onsite so if it’s hot outside you’re going to be hot. Courteous service. Free shuttle into town and beach club access which increased amenities. You have the best of both worlds. Food service speed and quality of alcohol drinks onsite needs improvement. Language barriers at times with staff. Huge grasshoppers onsite!! :). Expedia advertises this as an adult only resort but a small handful of children were there. Not much of a problem though. Complimentary Breakfast is plentiful but repetitive, would encourage hotel to change up the menu more. Overall, a pleasure to stay!

It's a nice hotel, but it should be a lot better for the price. My balcony door did not close, and maintenance fixed it on the first night, but when I opened it the next day couldn't lock it again. The bathroom layout was awkward, the toilet behind the door and super narrow, let's just say a heavier person would probably have to step in the shower to close the door. Breakfast was ok, eggs are organic, but no pastries... and limited fruits. I think for a 4-star hotel they should offer fruits in the afternoon, and the rooms definitely need an upgrade.

The hotel and people are very nice, but it does require a refresh. Elevator areas, stairwells, and rooms show signs of wear and tear and not well upkeep as far as cleanliness. The pool area and bartenders at the swim bar, along with the incredible panoramic view of Tamarindo Beach, make it a great spot to stop in and stay a couple of days. Tell the Bartenders Hola from DJ Mark! Pura Vida!

Like: Pool is very nice, clean and new. Disliked: Rude staff - they acted like they were annoyed every time we interacted with them. In addition, housekeeping staff entered our room THREE times while I was taking a shower and the bathroom door was open. As a woman, I felt very unsafe (the housekeeping staff were men sometimes). I asked for no service two times and they continued to enter. This combined with the lack of deadbolt locks on the doors was. not okay. There was also mold in our shower and all over the lounge chairs by the pool. Finally, the GRASSHOPPERS. They are SIX inches long and and there are hundreds in the hallways and all over. your door. When you try to move them away to enter your room, they all flight at directly at you. Also, many times there were over 30 in the elevator waiting for you as well. All night, you can't sleep because you hear other guests screaming and throwing their shoes at the grasshoppers. There are better places that are more friendly, less moldy, and without so many grasshoppers - choose another place!

I wish I could say our stay was pleasant, as the location and views are quite fantastic. Staff was always kind to us, but unfortunately the place is so packed with the giant grasshoppers (who attack) that we were gifted with 10 heart attacks each day trying to escape and fight them in the open air hallways. In addition, we had a very bad experience with the hotel’s tour agency who tried to scam us for double payment and even forged our signature to the receipt he gave trying to claim it was ours. As lovely as the place itself is, could not recommend to stay there.

It is overpriced for what you get. Hotel needs a major upgrade. It is old and outdated. Rooms is ok but bathrooms definitely needs an upgrade. They are old and not all clean looking. Lounging chairs are dirty , property just average. Spa is very mediocre and stuff is not welled trained. I do not recommend to get a facial. That said, stuff is super accommodating and helpful. Everyone was very polite, friendly and helpful. Stuff deserves a 5star. We had breakfast included it did the job. Coffee was the best thing at breakfast. Very smooth high quality.

The hotel was nice and comfortable however it is definitely NOT walkable to the beach. You have to take the shuttle. The shuttle only runs every hour until 9 pm which is huge disappointment. It also needs a sign of where the shuttle pickup in town, hard to find at first. It should run at least until 11 pm which would allow people to enjoy dinner and nightlife. The hotel does not offer any activities or nightlife, or entertainment. A very quiet hotel. The hotel should offer a pamphlet of activities, restaurants, nightlife, entertainment in town.
