Gorgeous mountain area near the beach. ##### Sileny Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley 22 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Service was great. The property is beautiful. The only issue was Wi-Fi kept going in and out. But other than that, we were very happy. The town of Dominical is a minute up the road, it’s adorable. Manuel Antonio and Uvita are also just an easy drive away. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/22892e3b-88af-4eee-a890-4841e8bf6768-1747921671970.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1f890c9e-1432-413e-8572-a1e1cc900051-1747921670528.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4fd1a872-35e4-4174-83ba-ad4e9297b0c3-1747921670669.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/121f5605-f1aa-4f39-b4a2-ca192d0a9d50-1747921671493.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ashley Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruth 3 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great place.

It’s got lots of animals and is far enough from town to be totally quiet but close enough to walk. ##### Eric Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristy 17 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is beautiful and relaxing. The pools was amazing and not over chlorinated. There is plenty of wildlife to see on the property. The walking areas are covered in algae and slick in areas. However, they are in the process power washing it off. ##### Kristy Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Natural Drake Bay Hotel Boutique](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Drake-Bay-Hotels-Natural-Drake-Bay-Boutique-Hotel.h100431716.Hotel-Information) > > [Lapa Rios Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Lapa-Rios-Lodge.h1447895.Hotel-Information) > > [Macaw Lodge ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carara-Hotels-Macaw-Lodge-An-Authentic-Ecolodge.h6778240.Hotel-Information) > > [El Remanso Rainforest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-El-Remanso-Lodge.h11640675.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabañas del Rio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Cabanas-Del-Rio.h22951676.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hideaway Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Samara-Hotels-The-Hideaway-Hotel.h11027376.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tranquilo Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Drake-Bay-Hotels-The-Tranquilo-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36517873.Hotel-Information) > > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Kenaki Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cahuita-Hotels-Kenaki-Lodge.h8460922.Hotel-Information) > > [Ecolirios Boutique Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Guacimo-Hotels-Ecolirios-Boutique-Hotel-And-Spa.h32864539.Hotel-Information) > > [Santa Juana Lodge and Nature Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Santa-Juana-Lodge-And-Nature-Reserve.h10501821.Hotel-Information) > > [Koora Hotel by Sandglass](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Aguti-Lodge-Reserve.h33594530.Hotel-Information) > > [Maquenque Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boca-Arenal-Hotels-Maquenque-Eco-Lodge.h4147006.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Amavi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Amavi.h103597450.Hotel-Information) > > [Selva Verde Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarapiqui-Hotels-Selva-Verde-Lodge.h4139642.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Costa Rica Surf Camp by SUPERbrand](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Costa-Rica-Surf-Camp-By-SUPERbrand.h17702230.Hotel-Information) > > [Iguana Lodge Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Iguana-Lodge-Spa-Beach-Resort.h6882446.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Luna Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Luna-Hotel-Spa.h2305532.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Escape Caribeño](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Viejo-De-Talamanca-Hotels-Hotel-Escape-Caribeno.h12310729.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Sarapiqui Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarapiqui-Hotels-La-Quinta-Sarapiqui-Lodge.h18261717.Hotel-Information) > > [Toad Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arenal-Hotels-Toad-Hall-Hotel.h11685037.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Waterfall Lodge Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-GreenLagoon-Arenal-Waterfall-Villas.h1823811.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Key Largo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels.d8369.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Chayote Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naranjo-Hotels-Chayote-Lodge.h9716642.Hotel-Information) > > [Hideaway Rio Celeste](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Katira-Hotels-Hotel-Rio-Celeste-Hideaway.h3858533.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Edmonton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edmonton-Hotels.d180002.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ---
