Reviews and Ratings
I stayed at a cabin with a beautiful ocean view, a pool, and two bedrooms. The room was absolutely beautiful with traditional décor and a very comfortable bed, although rather dark with minimal lights. The highlight was being upgraded to a suite for free, adding to the great experience.
The hotel offers cozy and slightly dated rooms with a basic double setup. The infinity pool adds a nice touch for relaxation, although the rooms feel like they haven't been updated in about a decade. The service is top-notch, attentive, and accommodating, even to those attempting to communicate in Spanish. The location is stunning, situated in a secluded area on the Nicoya Peninsula with breathtaking ocean views. The dining experience is delightful, with a variety of morning options and exquisite dinners, especially the beachside dining experience. However, the rooms may feel a bit outdated and small, and the breakfast could offer more fresh choices.
