One of a kind property. It was a lovely room on the second floor with the hot-tub for two and the swing and dinette. The shower had great water pressure and monkeys would tap on the windows. The views were amazing. Lots of wildlife to watch all over the property. The food was fabulous. It is a short drive to many attractions and beaches. The pool was perfect.

Amazing hotel!! Rooms were the best we had in CR. Incredible view of the ocean. My girlfriend did not want to leave the pool. Swim up bar was fun and the Monkey Mango Margarita was top notch. Emploees were great and always very helpful. Restaraunt was very good and convenient.

Wonderful Stay – Beautiful Hotel with Excellent Service The hotel is beautiful with stunning views and nice, comfortable rooms. The staff were fantastic—very friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. It’s conveniently located just 5 minutes from the beach and about 1.5 hours from San José airport. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely stay again in the future.
