We stayed at the Costa Coral for 10 days and had a great time. This is the perfect hotel to stay at if you want to relax and be immersed by the natural beauty of Costa Rica. There are many natural attractions nearby (waterfalls, rivers and of course the beach) and quite a bit to do (4 wheeling, horseback riding, fishing etc)
Rooms - The rooms are nice and fit right in with the natural feel of the area, if you have a choice try to get a pool side room with a balcony
Pool - The pool is small, but it is beautiful, it feels like you are swimming in a private natural spring. The pool is surrounded by well groomed natural flowers and trees (even a few banana trees)
Food - For the 10 days were were there we had something new almost every time we ordered and were never disappointed. The prices are reasonable and from what I could tell everything was made fresh to order (they make the Caesar salad right in front of you)
Staff - This is what takes the hotel over the edge. The staff were very friendly and made us feel like family. I almost felt bad checking out, it felt like I was leaving some friends behind
Recommended for - This is definitely a couples resort, it is very peaceful and could be a romantic get away.
Things to do - I would start listing them here but I fear the review would run a bit long. I am 26 and my g/f is 23 so we did stuff like surfing, four wheeling, and fishing. Older couples might enjoy hiking, bird watching, golfing, etc. Give the hotel a call and let them recommend something for you ;)
