8.2/10 Very good! (1,003 reviews)
"We had a great stay at this location. Close to Carrera National Park as well as the beach. We did not use their pool facilities or spa. Dinner buffet was what you’d expect when feeding a crowd but had a nice variety. We would definitely stay there again."

"We had never been to Costa Rica before so we didn’t know quite what to expect. Take the transportation from the airport. Once we got to the house, it was fabulous. The house is clean, and the staff are second to none. Every meal prepared for us was absolutely delicious. The views are spectacular ..."
