"Service was great. The property is beautiful. The only issue was Wi-Fi kept going in and out. But other than that, we were very happy. The town of Dominical is a minute up the road, it’s adorable. Manuel Antonio and Uvita are also just an easy drive away."

"The location of the property is beautiful, set back from the road and elevated for a great view of the Pacific. We particularly enjoyed the Happy Hour each day at 5:00 to enjoy the fabulous sunsets. The pool, the colorful plants, the toucans, tanagers, orapendulas and numerous other birds added so much to our visit. The staff was so accommodating and friendly. Our 5 days spent at Cristal Ballena were top notch!"

"My stay at this jungle resort in Costa Rica was nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the lush surroundings, the peaceful atmosphere, and the incredible hospitality. The resort is beautifully tucked into nature, allowing you to truly disconnect and soak in the beauty of the jungle. A special shoutout to Dan, the owner, who went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and memorable. He was incredibly kind, helpful, and always ready with great local tips and stories. Whether it was arranging transportation, recommending hidden gems nearby, or just checking in to make sure I had everything I needed, Dan’s warmth and dedication made a real difference. If you’re looking for a place to relax, explore, and connect with nature—this is it. I can’t wait to come back!"
