The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Breakfast

The breakfast buffet was simply amazing! It offered a great selection that catered to even the pickiest eaters, and having monkeys peek over from our table was a good touch. I enjoyed the local dishes and fresh fruits, making it the perfect start to our day.

Really good Spa Service

My partner and I treated ourselves to the couples massage, and it was nothing short of very nice! The spa staff, especially Mayra and Tatiana, provided us with a relaxing atmosphere and professional service that made our experience lovely. I can't recommend this enough!

Clean & Comfortable Rooms

We stayed in a well-renovated room that was not only clean but also spacious. The beautiful jungle views from our balcony allowed us to appreciate the stunning wildlife, including monkeys and sloths, which added a unique touch to our stay.

Our family had an incredible stay at this hotel! The spacious apartment we were given was absolutely stunning and fit our family perfectly. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, and we really enjoyed the amazing pool area. While we had a fantastic experience overall, we felt that having a few more plates and bowls in the kitchen would have been helpful.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel that offered a peaceful escape with stunning views. The rooms were spacious and provided a lovely respite after a day of exploring. The service, especially from the restaurant staff, was attentive and friendly despite being short-staffed at times. One downside was the price of evening meals, which felt a bit high, though the convenience of not needing to travel for dinner was a plus. I'd love to return and see how busy it gets during peak season.

I had a lovely three-night stay at this hotel, enjoying a spacious room with stunning views and a large balcony where I spotted capuchin monkeys. The beach was a short hike away and offered a great jetski tour. However, the dining options could use improvement, and the service varied during my stay.

I had a wonderful time at this beautiful property in the heart of Costa Rica. The hotel offers stunning views and is nestled in lush surroundings, making it quite picturesque. Although I loved the included breakfast and the fun wildlife interaction, the pool I was looking forward to was unfortunately closed. Overall, a great experience with some minor drawbacks.

The hotel is a beautiful place that offers amazing wildlife encounters, with monkeys visiting daily. However, the tough trail to the beach and disappointing breakfast options detract from the overall experience. Additionally, there were some issues with service and pricing for group bookings that raised concerns. Despite these downsides, the views and unique experiences make it a memorable stay.
