"Great location. Very close to the beach, restaurants and a small grocery store. The grounds and pool are very well maintained Why the low rating of 5/10? The condo had several problems. I had 4 phone conversations, 14 WhatsApp messages with the management company. 4 maintenance workers came to condo to do repairs over 3 days. Not all repairs were completed during my stay. -Sliding front glass door didn’t lock and screen door was broken -Downstairs bathroom window didn’t lock -Spider webs on all windows and screens -Upstairs bathroom door scraped the floor upon opening and closing -Master bedroom ceiling fan is old and constantly made a squeaky sound -Several towels were old and stained -and other minor problems "

"This hotel was very unique and we are so glad that we opted for the oceanfront room. It was quiet (aside from the kids at the pool) and we saw monkeys, birds and iguanas right on the property. Would definitely stay here again. "

"Room was in good condition and large with kitchen. Comfortable bed. Beach sand is soft. Pools were nice and at top of hill with the food & drinks. Some common areas need a bit of maintenance/upkeep. Rooms are down the steep hill in rows. Stayed in 300's about 1/2 way down. Walking down was not bad, did not need to walk up as shuttle arrived at the right times. The shuttle ran a loop that seemed pretty frequent. They say every 5-15 min, but never had to wait even 5. Only time I saw it full was the 7am first run when everyone wanted breakfast then too. Though the resort did not seem very crowded. Food and drinks are the low point. Beer is local Imperial which is good. Only have about 5 bottles of generic alcohol for anything else. One rum, scotch, tequila, vodka, and maybe a couple more bottles. So they can't make all drinks. No name brand bottles like the Expedia pictures show. Food is also limited. About a 6 warming tray buffet. Generally the meat was too tough to cut with the knives they provided. Saw someone with burgers, but not sure how to get one of those. Dessert was good. Breakfast they can make omlets."

"We had the absolute best time here! We had a party of nine: 4 adults and 5 kids 13 and younger. There was plenty of space for our two families, but we did not use the gym suite as we preferred to all stay in the main house.Francisco was our concierge and took great care of us. We had amazing breakfasts prepared for us daily and came home each evening to a pristine home. The views from the house are stunning- even more beautiful than the pictures. The closest beach is an easy drive- it is also walking distance but due to how steep the driveway is, we did not walk. The area has several great restaurants (Agua and Ginger were highlights), the beach club at El Mangroove was perfect for water sports and we felt completely safe exploring the area w our kids. The highlight for sure though was returning to this stunning property each evening, sitting out back by the pool and watching the sunset. We cannot wait to return. "

"Very pleasant place to stay. The restaurant food and entertainment made our overnight stay lovely."

"Beautiful landscaped grounds, made if feel like you were in a jungle resort. All kinds of creatures with howler monkeys in trees just off out balcony the highlight. Great breakfast and the staff were amazing. Great pool as well. 1 block from the beautiful beach with great walking along the ocean to Playa del Coco."

"Fabulous house with gorgeous views. Plenty of space for our group. We loved the outdoor space and enjoyed the pool, patio chairs and eating alfresco. "

"From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The property was stunning, spotless, and beautifully maintained- the online pictures don’t do it justice! The back patio and pool have incredible ocean views. Kevin was an amazing host - he greeted us, gave us a great orientation, and checked in with us to make sure everything was going well. Marie, our housekeeper was wonderful, making us breakfast every morning and keeping the house clean and tidy. I’d definitely recommend for large families or groups traveling to the island! We would absolutely come back. We give our Costa Rican vacation a 10."
