Over priced for the amenities. Hot tub that is not hot. The rooms are old and dated but they are clean. Kind of small for what we had to pay. . The front desk girls are rude. They seemed bothered if we asked them for help with anything.

The location is great. Tucked away from busy Tamarindo but close enough to walk into town. Its about a mile and half walk. Easier to rent a golf cart. The wait staff, kitchen staff, and security guards are all very nice and accommodating.

The cost to add a child/person to the reservation at the hotel was a lot more expensive than adding it on booking.com. So I had to cancel my booking on booking.com and re-book on the website to get the better price. The lines to check-in can be very long if tour group comes same day as you. Some of the activities and entertainment they advertise on their schedule do not happen.

The check-in process was very long, as there was a huge line to check-in and get keys right at the check-in time. But the staff was very nice and attentive once you reached the front. The food is really good, but again, there can be lines, but if you go at a different time than everyone else, then you can avoid the lines. We were sad there was no show on the night we were there, even though it said there was a show. Also, there were no activities specifically for kids, even though the schedule showed kids activities. The only activities that happened that I saw was some pool dancing.fitness, and some games set up by the pool (darts and mini golf hole). The room was really nice and the beach is beautiful - right out front! You can cross the little stream and walk along a lovely long beach (playa langosta) with lots of sand dollars. Incredible sunset beach.

The quality of the all inclusive drinks is average at best, they use cheap liquors for drinks. Some areas of the hotel are showing their age. Pathways get a little slippery when it rains, so be careful.

Great location, the rooms are really nice, lots of food and a lot of variety.

The food and staff were very good and the location was perfect for our excursions to pick us up.

Food was terrible. Flies all over the fruit. No flavor to any of the food and random combination of unappealing food.

The pool is spacious. There’s a hot tub area but it’s not very warm not are the jets that impressive. They had a fun water aerobics /dance class. Some other games (ping pong,etc) exist around the pool. The playground is small but sufficient. The kids club is a joke. A small outdoor play area with very little activities. You can’t drop your kids there. The entertainment was pretty good (staff did various games and sports, evening band, and one show a night). However some of the scheduled items didn’t exist or started late (twice the kids mini disco just didn’t occur) The food was the worst part. Breakfast was okay but lunch and dinner buffet did not look appetizing at all. The afternoon snack bar near the pool was really bad. Burgers which ran out often, tons of fried food that didn’t even taste good (French fries, fried chips, chicken nuggets, chips and beans) and some sad looking fruit . We got one dinner at their Al la carte Italian restaurant which was nice meal. Otherwise we tended to walk up the street to local delicious restaurants for lunch and dinner . Also if you have young kids , note that the hours of lunch and dinner start late (12:30,19:30).

On arrival check in was smooth. The bellboy helped with our luggage. Parking was free. The best parts of this hotel are its location, it’s in a quieter part of town. The beach is a mix of a rocky section and then a sandy section, there’s a river that flows between the end of the property and a national preserve. During low tide it’s possible to cross over the river and you have endless untouched beach to enjoy. Quiet, beautiful. The hotel buildings are surrounded by lush landscaping, beautiful birds. The lobby is open and breezy , with nice live music in the early evenings.

fairly small hotel, it is the second time we stay here, we enjoyed the food and food variety (during the Easter week much better compared to our first stay in January), the rooms are quite modern, the beach is very nice, entertainment at the pool was great, when booked in advance you get really good deals

The building where the buffet was incredibly hot and when we asked if we could eat outside we were told no, even though there are tables just outside the buffet.

The location was amazing. The beach was stunning

Not a true all inclusive because many of the bars and restaurants aren’t open most of the time. They don’t readily restock the refrigerator in your room. They don’t have enough staff at the bars. The pool was okay but would be better with a bar or some sort of water feature. Not enough beach chairs and umbrellas

The location is wondering because you have direct access to a nice beach and download. At the pool, there was ample seating.

There could have been some more up to date information in the brochure, like how laundry works (as the information was out of date).

All the rest of it, the staff were wonderful; especially the travel agent for the tours, she was amazing

I would not go there just for the food….it was adequate but not particularly special. We don’t drink, much, so the watered down drink didn’t bother us I would not stay there because of the beach…the rocks and rip-tides do not make this beach very user-friendly…and I live for water sports, so this is very important to me. Fortunately Tamarindo beach makes up for that. It is crowded, but a great, safe beach….take the bus to get there. The main eating area was lacking in a lot of the small, but important details. A few annoying instances: The salt and pepper shakers were often empty or non-existent. the coffee machines often had no stir sticks the juice machines often spouted just sofa water instead of the wanted drink

A very relaxed vibe Pool was really great Lots of activities the pool and dance exercises were great The walk to and back from Tamarindo along the beach was superb The music was 9.5/10….excellent! The fresh fruit was wonderful, varied and plentiful. Never went away hungry. It was not gourmet by any stretch but we could always find something tasty. Room was spacious and clean Staff was helpful

The room was somewhat tired with lots of minor things not well maintained - the airconditioning leaked drops of water on the floor, the door to the veranda was very stiff but able to be opened, the flyscreen door to the verandar was broken. I wouldn't have expected these things in such a high level resort. Also you should be aware that the resort is about 2 kms from Tamarindo beach / town and the resort offers no transportaton there so I took a local taxi that cost me US$16 for the return trip.

There was a relaxed flow to the day on the resort with large windows of time to go to the free buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner and with plenty of drinks and snacks throughout the rest of the day. In between there was life around the pool area and I particularly enjoyed the aqua aerobics as well as reading at the beach cafe where you could be mesmerised with both the ocean and the swimming pool area at the same time. Dipping in and out of the pool througout the day was great as well as the sunsets down at the beach.

Front desk staff was not at all helpful and the excursions staff was incredibly RUDE!

Dining staff was amazing.

Lava rock beach was nice to look at, but not a swimming beach which I did not know due to the big surfing waves, bathroom shower did not drain while showering, wanted to shoot pool, but the table only took quarters and there was no way to get change for a dollar bill, could not put your plastic cup within reach while you were in the pool, music should be more diversified throughout the day.

Excellent Value, comfortable beds, cleaning service daily, warm pool towels daily, fruit and salads, daily a.m. smoothies, can bring your yeti for drinks, meat and omelette station chef so nice and always had a smile on his face, pick up location for excursions, very close to the town of Tamarindo.

The dining room was not airconditioned, only had overhead fans. It did get quite hot there and we overheated a little.

The hotel had all we needed. A great few days of relaxing on the beach. We loved the live music in the evenings and the drinks. The room was very comfortable and we found our few days there very peaceful. The japanese restaurant was lovely (and air conditioned!), good sushi.

The buffet and lobby are all open so no AC unless you’re in your room

The hotel was so clean and well maintained! The rooms were spacious and clean. The pool is open late and the buffet had delicious food! Easy access directly to the beach with lounge chairs available for guests.

The staff was actually evil. Not a single person was remotely friendly. Constantly harrased us the entire trip. Couldn't have drinks by the pool. Not allowed to bring guests back to your room. Place felt like a prison run by prison security. It's also a geriatric facility. We were all in our 20s and this resort was all mostly old people. So if your are old, you'll love this place. If you are younger and like to party, get a hostel or airbnb in town because this isn't the spot for you.

The rooms were clean, comfortable, and air conditioning worked great! Rooms had everything we needed. The food was also wonderful. Loved the buffets, drinks, coffee, fresh fruit, etc. We were a group of 12 college guys and we thought the food was awesome. The pool and beach were great as well. All in all the resort itself was awesome.

Front reception staff. Never looked up to welcome guests on time. They weren’t friendly, understanding, Etc. The specialty restaurants are not special at all - subpar.

The restaurant staff at the main dining area - wonderful!! Alejandro was on top of everything in the restaurant! Claudio the person who brought our suitcases to our room was exceptionally nice and knowledgeable.

The rooms could do with a little modernisation, we stayed in the duplex suite and it looked very tired and needed updating.

The facilities around the property were very good and all the staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. We took the opportunity to use the spa which was very good and reasonably priced for a couples massage.
