We liked the attentiveness of the staff and how quickly they were with transportation to get us from place to place. I killed a couple different cockroaches in the room and intentionally left them to see if maid service took care of them. One was in place for two days. This resort is by no means a drive, but it’s far from a 4-5 star resort. Having been to many all inclusive resorts, this is the second worst one we’ve been too. Be sure to ask and understand their rules for making restaurant reservations.

Property was nice, staff didn’t seem too knowledgeable at the front desk. I had some minor issues with getting bottled water, it seemed to be somewhat difficult. Also I paid for premium but a la carte restaurants were completely booked although I tied to book in advance, buffet food was just normal, nothing fancy.

The round pool has a bartender named Oscar who refused to clean the bar counter after a couple of women laid across it for pictures. It is a swim up bar. I just wanted it wiped off because they had their feet up there and everything. Guess what, everyone avoided that bar after. Very disappointing.

The food was good. They had different themes everyday so you have to be open minded to try different foods. They're strict on the restaurant you had to book reservation for. They would Not let us in even though there were open tables. The room was great, service was great and the VIP lounge was fantastic! Pay the extra, it's worth it. We played games, had horsdevours and any drink you can dream up with a strong air conditioner (it was scorching outside) . The nightly entertainment was fun. Karaoke and dancing is always a winner. I would definitely return.

My wife and I came from the US for our honeymoon for 7 days and we loved our stay! To be honest, we were worried after reading some of the reviews, but the staff was helpful and prompt, the property was clean, the pools were nice, and the beach was great! They have an awesome on-site booth to purchase excursions which we did multiple of! The only downsides we can only think of were the showers could use some updating! The food is decent; Nothing to write home about but not bad. There is quite a bit of walking, as the property is large, but truly nothing to complain about unless you are elderly or have some health issues. The animals on the property keep to themselves and are so cute! Overall, I’d say if you’re looking for a cheap, fun, good, place to stay and go out and see Costa Rica, this is your spot! If you’re looking for exquisite food, super nice rooms, and premium liquor, I’d go somewhere else:)

We had a wonderful time. The staff went above and beyond. The excursions we chose JJ was very helpful with the entire arrangement. The spa massages with the specialists Lorena and Deborah was excellent. We will return and recommend this resort to family and friends. Thank you all.

The property, pool area and ocean were very nice. Tennis/pickleball at an extra charge ridiculous. Sporadic shuttle service up and down hills. Food at buffet offered inexpensive main course options. Salads and deserts were good along with service. No one answers phone at front desk. Rude staff unless they were selling you something. Expensive tours from hotel. Use Viator instead. Remote.
