Great staff, very friendly and accommodating! The rooms smelled a little musty and needed updating. The property of just rooms and the pool surrounded by trees so don’t expect much of a view. Beds were fine and they bring you softer or harder mattresses depending on your preference. By the reviews and pictures, I was expecting a much nicer place but it was comfortable for the night. Carla was great, she made a great margarita for me even though they didn’t have them on the menu. It’s basically Imperial beer and sub par wine.

Hotel Pumillio mountain and ocean hotel is located just outside of main Jaco. Fairly easy drive to it's location. Hotel has an automatic gate for security with its own private parking area. Upon arriving you're greeted with the sounds of nature and smiles from the staff. TEEJAY and his staff are wonderful and accommodating. The massage manager Warner not only helpful in booking massages he was very helpful with local cuisine suggestions. The cafe on site is nothing short of incredible with food made from scratch. Fresh ingredients and positive attitudes from Jonathan the chef creating an amazing experience. Not only did they make my stay at the hotel an outstanding experience Teejay and his team always had our best interest in mind. Upon arriving they gathered some information on our plans and noticed an oddity in our tour reservation. Teejay went above and beyond to confirm I wasn't being taken advantage of or being asked to meet somewhere not safe. In conclusion the team made it an unforgettable experience with hopes of returning sooner rather than later

Excellent service. Rooms are clean. Beds were uncomfortable. Hotel does have offer to replace the mattress but it was so late we didn’t want bother them. Hotel will immerse you in the Costa Rica vibe. Food at the bar was okay but expensive.

Good stay, very comfortable mattress. The jacuzzi didn't fill all of the way, even after asking for a service visit (minor inconvenience). Felt a little like the main elements of the suite were nice, but the edges were a little ruff, like there was a weird piece of plastic hanging from the roof of the patio, the jacuzzi doesn't fill all the way, and the patio table was very lop sided, but it looked beautiful and was very comfortable to sleep in.

We loved our stay at Pumillo Mountain and Beach Resort. We couldn't see the beach from the resort but we really enjoyed the forest- like setting. The rooms were comfortable with a great view of the pool and the foliage. The pool was refreshing, the massages were reasonably priced and incredibly relaxing ( and the massages are done in a beautiful pagoda like structure surrounded by foliage). The dinner and breakfast were very good, as was the service. We will definitely be back!!

me and my wife had the best experience. Wow the attention was like the four seasons, incredible staff friendly, and helped us out tremendously. If you are looking for an amazing trip to Costa Rica, this is the place. Got to deal with the supervisor Daniel and hope they were both amazing and genuinely good people Definitely recommend this place and definitely will be back with my wife
