Beautiful hotel in a great location right on the beach. As with almost all hotels in CR, the pool is not heated and too cold even in hot weather but the proximity to the beach and ocean makes up for it. The rooms are clean, spacious and well maintained. Definitely request an upstairs room otherwise you need to keep the curtains drawn the entire time. Restaurant is high on price and moderate in quality but fine for post-beach snacks. We also did the hotel-provided boat and snorkel sunset trip which was well worth it.

Spacious suites, lush landscape, and immediate beach access. Two levels of dining (main restaurant & upstairs bar area) is convenient. Food at both is very good. Housekeeping staff very thorough, but restaurant staff is inconsistent. Some were friendly and attentive while others were not engaged, which is surprising for a resort at this level.

This is a lovely, smaller hotel right on Playa Hermosa. The staff is welcoming and accommodating at all levels, from parking attendants to maintenance to cleaners to front desk. Our suite was luxurious and private and very comfortable. Highly recommend the spa services. Had one of the most relaxing massages. While the food was decent at the restaurant and bar at the hotel, it was overpriced. We ate at each place once and then went elsewhere.

We had very good communication pre check in. The front desk was responsive and supportive when there was an issue with my credit card. Sebastian at the front desk was great. We also enjoyed Fabio, our server in the restaurant. Very personable and helped us with our Spanish. The property is beautiful and so tranquil.

This hotel has a fabulous beachfront location, just steps from the ocean. The beach has gentle waves that are ideal for little ones. The coastal forest setting gives the property a unique, peaceful atmosphere that helps you feel truly disconnected from the surrounding town. The rooms are nice and clean, the food is good, and the staff is friendly and helpful especially Jonathan at the restaurant.
