We loved this hotel- the view is amazing, the location is perfect and everything was great! There were all kinds of animals that actually came to the hotel. The food was great as well as the staff.

Cynthia

Everything was great from the room to the food to swimming pools to wild animals (sloths, local raccoon, apes, birds and macaos) visiting the trees... nice little nature path and beach. Play rooms for kids. Great breakfast.

Hugues

Beautiful resort with amazing views. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and wanted you to have a good time. Surrounded by wild animals and we were lucky enough to see whales from our balcony. All the day trips and help was well organized and we felt ultra safe all the time. Everywhere was really clean all the time. Food on site was some of the best we had and the free breakfast made a big difference. Most people spoke enough English to help you but it’s made me want to learn Spanish.

The food is incredibly overpriced! Which seems to be the trend on a lot of these reviews. Bed linen isn’t five star - more four star. The complimentary water is 100% from the Tap in the bathroom.
The hotel is pretty. Staff are friendly and helpful. Overall nice experience but missing the wow factor of a five star.

“The perfect honeymoon stay”

It was honestly perfect. It's like staying in the garden of Eden, and all the staff treat you as a VIP.
The ocean views were unbeatable. The service was first class. The food was fresh and full of flavour. There was so much wildlife on the hotel grounds. And the hotel gave us a lot of freebies (free room upgrade, free bottle of wine/fruit basket/chocolate covered strawberries for our honeymoon, free facial at the spa).

Food was ok. Dinner service could be quite haphazard.
Set in a beautiful spot and the end of the peninsula. Sloths and Scarlett Macaws are some of the plentiful wildlife easily found and seen around the property. Facilities include: Mini-golf, tennis, 3 pools (including a swim-up bar). Shuttle bus to Manuel Antonio National Park and Village.

Required cab service to main town which was over $10 each way. A shuttle was available, but departure times were limited. Did not realize it was so out of the way.

“Good hotel but let down by uncomfortable room.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 4 nights
Re: Tropical Room with balcony (above Garden Rooms) for family of 4. The 2 standard double beds were small (when compared to similar local hotels) and the mattresses very hard. Whole family didn't sleep well throughout stay. Single bedside table on one side only. Unacceptable arrangement for person/s on other side of bed. Requested hotel to provide additional bedside tables but request ignored and no tables provided. Meals/food was unnecessarily expensive in hotel. Better value in local area. Best value in Quepos. Slap happy waiter with no finesse. Spilt milk on customer/table when pouring morning coffee several times.
Very good breakfast. Generally, very attentive and friendly staff. Good facilities, particularly for families. Large shower.
