We liked the huge room and the wonderful views from the hotel. The free safari tour on the premises was really interesting and José (the guide) explained lots of interesting things to us!

Beautiful hotel in a great location! Breakfast was delicious – you can choose from a menu, and everything is freshly prepared. In the evening, we ate at Two Parrots – very friendly service and a lovely view. A special thank you to Alfonso at the reception, who was extremely helpful.

the hotel looks very nice, with a lovely and relaxing pool area, rooms are spacious and bed are comfortable. Reception personnel is correct but the best was James, from the restaurant. He served us for dinner and breakfast, was very attentive and helped us enjoy our meals and time there. the kitchenette area is handy if you want to prepare something simple.

Cute little hotel with not to many rooms. Great location with only 3min to the beach and also close by options for restaurants or moto rentals. Same for two supermarkets. Some of the other nice beaches like Hermosa are around a 15min moto ride away. So, a great place to stay!

Rom and the team are fantastic hosts. This really is a little slice of paradise tucked away from everything. From the moment you step onto the boat to take you to Los Vivos, to the moment you leave you can’t help but feel relaxed and part of something special. The beach is beautiful, the accommodation is perfect and the food offering is just amazing, (thank you Gustavo and the team!) We made full use of the free canoes and paddle boards and had a great time exploring the bay. At night the soothing sound of the ocean sent us all of into a deep sleep. This truly is a special place.

    Few hours are enough. after a week in Costa Rica we knew how to spot the wildlife. the attitude of those who tries to sell private tour was very annoying so we chose not to take them. We saw loads of crabs, monkeys, sloth, Iguanas. Buy tickets in advance online !!!

    Loved the adventure parks (selvatura sloth rescue is a must!) and area restaurants Bon appetit and taco taco. Chocolate and coffee tour also worthwhile. Night tours more insect and reptile focused than in other areas. Roads in the area are very narrow and twisty, hard for motion sickness travellers.

    During the last Costa Rican rainy season, the beach was ravaged by strong storms. a large portion of sand was washed away leaving exposed rock over much of the beach. My photos reveal that about four feet of sand was washed away. My time there was a bit disappointing, but I believe nature or people will restore the beach to its former glory.

    I like most of the food was pretty good. The pools were very active for socializing at the swim up bar If you’re going for relaxation, it’s a place to go. You just wanna lay in the sun. Read a book and relax.

    Uvita is a great spot for families, not as crowded as Dominical, with plenty of good places to eat. However, some restaurants can be pricey and not worth it. The sea had strong currents, making it dangerous, but there was still plenty of space on the beach

    Well, the beach is beautiful, and the sunset is spectacular. However, the main road is a complete disaster. There is no pavement, the dust is overwhelming, and the road infrastructure is almost nonexistent.

    Quepos itself is a little rough, but Manuel Antonio is a gem. Be wary of all the hustlers on the beach. Would have liked to go fishing but the prices for charters were steep. Great eateries. I forgot the name but the seafood restaurant before the bridge into town was excellent.

    This is basically a cruse ship harbor and not much to do in low season. A few bars and stores open. A lot of tour is not given due to no crusie ship arriving in this time of the year. Also, extreme weather resultet in that most tours from Puntarenas was cancelled. If you are planning a vaccation, you should choose another city such as Jaco or Uvita. Very easy to take a 2-3 hour bus shuttle from San Jose, terminal 7-10 for a few dollars.

    Puerto Jiménez served as a rest-over before going to, and when coming from a trip to Corcovado Nat'l Park. We were able to take and ride bikes from the hotel to restaurants and to look around (the walkway to the pier was torn up so we had to go the long way around and the bikes came in super handy). The staff was friendly and could answer all our questions.

    Excellent service from the staff.

    Excellent service from the staff. Cabins were really nice, although dark as they are made of local wood. No plastic anywhere. Good kitchen facilities. Lacked a good light anywhere to read under, other than that, our stay was most pleasant. Henry’s pizza, and the bar next door, just 100m along the road, had excellent food and drinks as well. There is a well stocked mini super 50m further to stock up on snacks and food if you use the kitchen in the cabin. All in all, a most pleasant stay.
