I give the hotel 2 stars. It looked like the hotel was about to close. Had a pool bar but looked like it had been closed for a long time. The menu in the restaurant was vegan. It showed healthy on the website. 1 large bath towel per person. No hand towel, no washcloth. Nowhere to put your toiletries in the bathroom. Advertized yoga classes but was no longer offered. It’s unfortunate because the hotel looked like it had a lot of potential.

We initially had to move rooms as there was such a large gap between the door and the outside that there were lots of ants and crickets in the room. The rooms are also very small and there was no hair dryer or hand towel. There was a generator on the roof of our room so it was also very noisy. The staff were friendly and very helpful and the pool was nice. Breakfast was also good especially if you need dairy or gluten free options.

Unfortunately, the rooms are mouldy. We are told that that’s what you get in Costa Rica. We had switched rooms and even went to look at a couple others and they all were in similar state. I’m very sensitive/allergic to mold, so it was less than ideal to say the least. The second room that we stayed in some renovations, as there was paint or caulking on the mirror and countertop. Breakfast was fair at best. It was served at a vegetarian restaurant in front of the hotel. Honestly, I don’t think they know how to cook eggs and bacon. The staff were very friendly and pleasant to deal with. Location is great. Right near the restaurants. Not too far from the beach.

The property is BEAUTIFUL. Friendly staff. For the basic rate you have your own private cottage. Great price. Centrally located to most attractions. There are large gaps in the doors and windows and you are in a tropical setting, so creepy crawlers can get in. It is important to know there are no TVs in these rooms and no refrigerators, but they were able to upgrade me to have same for an additional fee. Free classes (yoga, etc) you can register for and free breakfast at restaurant in hotel...not bad! Also has vegan options.

I’m surprised to see this hotel described as “exceptional.” In our experience, it was average at best. While the rooms were acceptable and staff generally helpful, there were several issues. Restaurant service was poor. On our first night, a hot drink was forgotten despite asking three times. Breakfast was consistently unreliable: although there are only four options, portions and items varied daily, things were often missing, and service was very slow. The rooms were poorly thought out and not particularly child- or adult-friendly. In our room, rebar was protruding from the floor, which felt unsafe and unacceptable (photos attached). Cleanliness was also lacking, despite the hotel promoting a zen, yoga-friendly atmosphere. Overall, the hotel has potential but needs better upkeep, more attention to detail, and a clearer sense of identity. For us, it was a 5/10.

Stayed 2 nights, great location 15-20 walk to the beach but all downhill no clear side walk a bit dangerous with traffic not recommended in the dark. Walking back up hill is doable but can also taxi uber or bus . Restaurants close by went to YOLO great salad Live music .also went to Agua Azul had the panko Seared tuna highly recommend it was amazing. Room is decent no safe which I don’t like. Pool is nice and warm. Breakfast was good as well fresh made to order. Staff are very nice and very helpful. I would stay again and recommend.

The rooms were cleaned regularly and spotless and the staff friendly, but what really stood out was the abundant nature. I saw more wildlife here than on all of the nature tours I went on put together. I saw 3 different types of monkey, iguanas and lots of birds including the striking fiery-billed toucan.
