Warm, friendly staff and beautifully landscaped layout with multiple structures around a central pool and open-air restaurant and bar. We enjoyed swimming daily, dining at the restaurant multiple nights and walking down the hill to the beach that was quiet and perfect for us. If we are ever in this area again, we would return here because of the excellent service. If you end up staying elsewhere in the area, we noticed many couples came up just to enjoy the restaurant also.

Stayed for two nights. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was large -‘d the kitchen had everything needed. They were attentive to my needs. The onsite restaurant was good as well. I enjoyed dinner there both nights. The pool is great and sun chairs plentiful. In the evening, howler monkeys were visible in the distant trees. The beach is a short walk away. I would stay again if visiting the area.

My boyfriend and I had the most relaxing stay here. It was our favorite stop in Costa Rica thus far. The property itself is gorgeous, the food is incredible and the people are so nice and accommodating. We felt like family and will most certainly be back again! Do not hesitate to come here for a little rest and relaxation. It was just what we needed.

Fun and enjoyable

We stayed at this wonderful facility for two days midweek and wish it had been longer. The manager “Leonardo”had great information to share about the plants and animals in the area especially the birds. We used this facility in order to be close to the volcano and park so the location was perfect. They provide breakfast and dinner here for a slight surcharge and we recommend this option as our meals were delicious. Most rooms also have kitchen facilities if you choose to prepare your own meals.
