We stayed at this resort at the end of our vacation touring Costa Rica. We were only staying two nights and the stay was only meant to round us back towards the airport to finish up our trip. It ended up being way more then we expected. Not only was our room extremely memoriable but the staff were incredible. The food at the restaurant was excellent and the service and ambiance was outstanding. A must do at either the beginning or end of your Costa Rician holiday. Only downside is you are close to town and there are really no animals to speak of nearby.

I stayed here based on the stellar reviews which taught me a lesson, don't believe everything you read! My first impression was the reception who seemed to care less and had no warm words of welcome. Second, we reserved the el Ranchito. Upon entering the room you immediately saw the bed and surounding the perimeter were built in orange benches and a small bar. All it needed was a disco ball! The seperate WC was adequate but the shower had what seemed to be a 5 second hot water timer. You had to shut the water completely and ramp up the water heater which again only lasted 5 seconds. Not the most relaxing experience. No TV, No Room Service and intermittant WI-FI but big into bugs, spiders and critters! Be sure to shake out your towel before drying yourself off! The restaurant was very good though and Jorge, our server for 3 nights, was great! Sorry but I'm gonna pass the next time on this hotel!

This is a lovely place. The rooms are lovely (Spanish-themed and calm and relaxing), the grounds are great and the service really good. It's just 30 mins to the airport, so we stayed here twice - once on our way from monteverde to drakes bay - and then on our final night before heading home. Wonderful.

We recently stayed here for our honeymoon. We stayed at the Rosa Blanca Suite and it is one of the most amazing rooms we're ever stayed in! We wished we could have stayed longer! The view from the bedroom was amazing. I couldn't wait to wake up and just stare out the windows! The pool area is also breathtaking. We also got lucky because the hotel was almost empty so it felt like our own private pool and restaurant! Very romantic!

The staff was very friendly and always offered to help. The food was amazing and friendly staff, we loved Marvin.

We also booked the coffee tour, a must if you're staying here! Manolo was our guide and he was great and gave us great information!

We hope to come back! Will def. come back again. It's perfect if you're arriving/leaving from San Jose. It's about a 20 min. ride to the airport.
