En general muy bien, con algunos ajustes.

Pros: El desayuno estuvo muy bien, solamente que el servicio estuvo muy lento.

Cons: Más espacio para poner el equipaje y el cierre de la puerta de baño algo difícil. Faltó también que el dispensador del baño funcionara y no había jabón en el lavamanos

Close to Ostional turtle beach with staff helpful for organizing tours there.

Pros: Fantastic staff that keep everything spotless, not even a single leaf in the pool. The staff were super helpful and kind. Vegan options in the restaurant menu.

Cons: The wifi was spotty and weak in the cabins. It was strongest in the restaurant.

Amazing stay! Great value! Gorgeous resort!

Pros: We LOVED, LOVED, LOVED our stay at the resort. It was the highlight of our Costa Rica vacation. The resort is a bit of a travel to get to but it was truly excellent. Our rooms (bungalows) were gorgeous, pristine, and spacious. The staff was so wonderful. We loved meeting the owner and felt really taken care of by one of the staff members (I wish I remembered her name - she was sooo great to us!). High recommend from me!

Cons: Like everywhere in Costa Rica, expect some ants. There was also a hiccup with the number of guests in one of our rooms because we had booked through Expedia.com. The owner was great and took care of it for us at no extra charge.
