Not sure if they are all like that but the staff members know you by name and are super attentive. Because the hotel was so small there isn’t a whole lot to do on the property which makes it easy to choose to relax which is exactly what you should do on vacation anyways. Food was actually pretty good in my opinion. They have made to order breakfast included which was my favorite out of the three hotels we stayed at. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jean Freddy 20 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Jean Freddy Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leonardo 13 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Awesome place!!!

We are pescatarians and they were very accommodating, however, the we did run out of new options quickly and the quality of the food ranged from excellent to poor. All other aspects of our stay were excellent!!!!! The service, amenities, rooms, pool, staff friendliness, etc. were top notch. And, the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful. We took the Hidden Beach private boat tour and it was phenomenal. We had a day hike around Coco with Jennifer which was so much fun, enjoyed the Secreto Lovers Spa Treatment immensely, rented a dirt bike from Papagayo Holidays in Playa del Coco and drove to Brasilito which was so much fun. We visited Playa del Ocotol, a wonderful beach for both exploring and snorkeling. There is so much to do in this area. Each beach is unique. I highly recommend the Villa and the area.

Enjoyed 3 nights here and it was not early enough time. Everyone ... I mean everyone there is friendly and focused on providing excellent service during your stay. They provided our itinerary and scheduled all of our taxis and transfers to airport which is so much closer than expected. The spa is amazing and so private. They also support two schools with supplies and uniforms so it’s nice knowing the community is positively impacted.

I was scared to travel alone and wanted a hotel that was all-inclusive and small and quiet. I'm so glad I found this place. The staff were really great and friendly and made me feel like a little sister instead of a guest. Alex, Jeniffer, Cesar, Carlos, Francisco, Javier and Christian and all of the staff even the drivers were wonderful and pleasant and made me feel very comfortable and safe. The hotel is beautiful and well-kept. The restaurant had delicious meals. Even if I was late for lunch or breakfast the waiters and chef still accommodated me and I appreciate that so much. I loved my stay here and can't wait to go back.Thanks guys! ##### Deronna Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 30 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The small size of the property was an asset for us because we were looking to relax in some peace & quiet. The property is the type of place that is quiet at night and where you get to know the rest of the guests (only 8 rooms). We left extremely happy, but the charm of its size may not be for everyone. The property is as pictured. Although we appreciated the small size of the property, there are inherent limitations when several people would like food / drink / assistance and there isn't enough staff to go around. While this wasn't the norm during our stay, it is worth noting that you can't get in a hurry here. \*wink\* ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 25 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### May 5 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### May Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diana, N.

We spent the first half of our trip at one of the larger all inclusive resorts, and this was infinitely better. We stayed in an ocean view suite and it was absolutely perfect in size and was clean and comfortable. I couldn't have asked for a better room for the price. The staff was unbelievably friendly and helpful and available for everything we needed. They also provide a daily shuttle to and from the various beaches which was the perfect way to explore. We didn't do any excursions from this hotel, but they have tons of info available and were able and ready to help plan trips. I honestly cannot recommend this place enough. The food is FANTASTIC and yes, the drinks are an additional cost, but they are reasonably priced and are large and not made with cheap liquor like they are at some of the all inclusive places. If you're looking for a relaxing and private getaway, this is the place for you! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1831-p5bb55a70-5de3-11e6-b143-1efd9bed7faa-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1880-p8c236cb0-5de3-11e6-bc5b-9a6e387e1139-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Hannah ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 13 Feb 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [All-Inclusive Hotels in England](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-England-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d11218-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [The Belsfield Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Belsfield-Hotel.h527758.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartamentos Dunas Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Oliva-Hotels-Apartamentos-Dunas-Club.h10165996.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Playa Blanca](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Playa-Blanca-Hotels.0-l6024125-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Playa-Flamingo-Hotels-Margaritaville-Beach-Resort-Playa-Flamingo.h189539.Hotel-Information) > > [W Costa Rica - Reserva Conchal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cabo-Velas-Hotels-W-Costa-Rica-Reserva-Conchal.h24195607.Hotel-Information) > > [The Leaping Salmon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yelverton-Hotels-The-Leaping-Salmon.h39659049.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d5453-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Planet Hollywood Costa Rica by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Planet-Hollywood-Beach-Resort-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive.h21882911.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Thornton-Cleveleys](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Thornton-Cleveleys-Hotels.s50-0-d6323710.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cabo-Velas-Hotels-The-Westin-Reserva-Conchal.h4151182.Hotel-Information) > > [Santa's Hotel Tunturi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saariselka-Hotels-Santas-Hotel-Tunturi.h2439829.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Highland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverness-Hotels-The-Royal-Highland-Hotel.h41256.Hotel-Information) > > [Thon Hotel Stavanger](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stavanger-Hotels-Thon-Hotel-Stavanger.h15584596.Hotel-Information) > > [Hanging Gardens of Bali](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Payangan-Hotels-Hanging-Gardens-Of-Bali.h1341847.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Costa-Rica.h984916.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Panama-Beach-Hotels-Occidental-Papagayo-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h659642.Hotel-Information) > > [Secrets Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Secrets-Papagayo-Adults-Only.h10650279.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Occidental-Tamarindo-All-Inclusive.h793778.Hotel-Information) > > [El Mangroove Papagayo, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-El-Mangroove-Papagayo.h6052327.Hotel-Information) > > [The Navigator - Solaqua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Luna-Solaqua.h4461872.Hotel-Information) > > [El Remanso Rainforest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-El-Remanso-Lodge.h11640675.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Hotels in Cape Verde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Cape-Verde-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d32-tLuxuryHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica, by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Andaz-Costa-Rica-Resort-At-Peninsula-Papagayo-A-Concept-By-Hyatt.h6476638.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [flights from norman manley intl airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/kin/flights-from-norman-manley-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Edinburgh (EDI) to Cairo (CAI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/edi/cai/edinburgh-to-cairo) ### Packages > [Orange Tree Theatre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orange-Tree-Theatre-South-Richmond.d553248621532491848.Attraction) ### Holiday Rentals > [Hamilton Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Holiday-Rentals.d182777.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) ### General > [Visit Castro Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castro-Marina.dx6059449)
