    beautiful gardens, pool illuminated at night, friendly disabled cat

    Rooms could benefit from better lighting for evening use!!! Paths could use clearer signage to reach facilities more easily!!! Wi-Fi was sporadic, making it frustrating to stay connected!!!

    comfortable rooms
    fantastic pools
    great amenities
    poor wifi
    limited connectivity

    The location was ideal for visiting Marino Ballena National Park for whale watching, and the nearby beaches were breathtaking. The pools were fantastic for unwinding after our adventures, and the rooms were comfortable with great amenities. However, we had some trouble with the WiFi, which barely worked in the room, making it difficult to share our experience online.

    beautiful gardens
    complimentary breakfast
    family-friendly atmosphere
    lack of drying rack

    We had a fantastic stay at this eco-friendly place, enjoying the amazing pools and beautiful gardens. The kids loved splashing around while my brother and I explored nearby beaches and the rainy forest trails, where we even saw some wildlife. The complimentary breakfast was a hit with everyone!

    In my kids' opinion, it would be great if they provided a drying rack for clothes.

    clean environment
    stunning beach

    perfect base for exploring the beautiful streets and beaches nearby

    The place is so clean and quiet, and just a short walk of about 25 minutes will take you to Dominical Beach for a breathtaking view of the coastline and restaurants like Phat Noodle, which is only 1 km away, perfect for grabbing a bite after a day of exploring. this resort is definitely a great choice for anyone who loves walking through vibrant areas and parks, but the front desk staff could improve their friendliness to enhance the overall experience.

    whale watching
    snorkeling tours
    poor wifi

    The location was ideal for visiting Marino Ballena National Park for whale watching. We also enjoyed the beautiful beaches nearby. The pools and comfy rooms were great for relaxing after our adventures. Don't miss the snorkeling tours to Caño Island. the marine life was spectacular. The breakfast buffet was solid too!

    We had trouble with the WiFi. it barely worked in the room. It was disappointing since I was looking forward to sharing our trip online.

    Family-friendly without losing peace

    The grounds were beautiful, well-kept gardens and pools that made it feel like a little paradise. We loved the complimentary breakfast, it was delicious and gave us the energy we needed for the day.

    It wasn't cheap, but the experience still felt worth it.

    buffet breakfast
    mountain view

    great amenities but needs attentive staff

    The buffet breakfast offered a good variety, though it could really benefit from having a staff member around to assist. The villa I stayed in had a beautiful mountain view, adding to the relaxing atmosphere.

    long walk

    I absolutely loved the large, clean pools and the breathtaking tropical gardens filled with wildlife. The food was fantastic, especially the breakfast buffet that exceeded my expectations. I'd definitely come back for more of that beautiful juice!

    tropical gardens
    vibrant flowers
    inviting walkways
    signage issue
    room accessibility

    The tropical gardens were simply enchanting, filled with vibrant flowers and inviting walkways. It felt like a lush paradise, making it easy for everyone, even seniors like me, to stroll and enjoy the beauty.

    More signage for room locations would help immensely.

    fine gardens
    buzzing wildlife
    delicious breakfast
    spotty wifi
    limited connectivity

    I stayed here for a couple of days and was really impressed. The gardens are fine and buzz with wildlife like monkeys and iguanas. The pools were a perfect spot to chill, and the breakfast was a treat with fresh fruits and options galore.

    wifi was spotty in my room.
