10/10 Excellent
"Very clean and modern facility. Excellent staff. Sandra seemed to appear almost instantly anytime we needed anything. The only complaint was the road to get to the property. It is unpaved and if you enter from one end it is deeply rutted, and washed away. The other end of the street was much less difficult to navigate, but still had a very large pothole. I doubt this is something that can or will be fixed anytime soon. It is what you learn to expect in Costa Rica. Bottom line, we would most certainly stay there again."
