we stayed here during our first night and then our last night while traveling throughout Costa Rica. the hotel is close to the airport, although you would never know it. feels like you are far in the jungle. the rooms are large and beautifully decorated with terraces . the property and landscaping is amazing, especially the sunset pool. I had a massage, and it was excellent in a beautiful facility. We loved our dinners and breakfast at the hotel, and most of all we loved the kindness and helpfulness of the staff, especially the rooms manager. Hope to be back soon!

"We loved the breakfast. We didn’t like the busy noisy trucks driving by all day and night. The room had a skylight and it was very bright overnight so that wasn’t great either. The free coffee and tea all day was a great perk. The fireplace at night in the lobby was also a nice addition. Would stay ..."
