"Hung up in unbelievable traffic in Santa Cruz, I was not able to check into the hotel until 7 AM the next day when they reopened. So I don't have the overnight experience one expects. That said, the room was very clean, the shower had good hot water, and I did get a morning nap on the bed. Fort7nately, it is off the road a bit. But noise carries and young Costa Ricans love their motorcycles. So if you are super noise sensitive that might bother you, but the traffic is really light on that...

Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent
"From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a glass of sparkling wine. We arrived 3 hours prior to check in but we were welcome to use the facilities or grab lunch. We went to eat at their restaurant Chill and Grill. Our waiter/waitress Alonzo and Kemly were so nice and very attentive. I was recognized as an Expedia VIP member and was told we would receive a spa credit for massages which we unfortunately didn’t have time to book. I was texted when our room was ready and Sibly (I hope I spelled his name right) helped take our luggage to our room. He made sure everything was working properly and gave us a run down on how to use the tv and electric shades. We then went to enjoy the beach and we were so pleasantly impressed with how peaceful and serene the beach was. No vendors to disturb you and the hotel didn’t appear crowded. We got drinks at Nikoa beach club and our waiter Wilkins was amazing! Very attentive and friendly. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone at the beach club was taken care of. The grounds at this boutique hotel are gorgeous and have a very luxurious atmosphere. The same night I received a message from Expedia asking how check in was and if our VIP status was acknowledged by offering a complimentary room upgrade. I brought it up to the front desk and the gentleman in charge said he would run it past his manager the next morning. The next day we were pleasantly surprised with a swim out room upgrade! Jennifer was great on our morning hike"
