The hotel offers spacious and well-appointed rooms with a spacious bathroom; however, the ongoing construction can be noisy and hazardous. The service is attentive and helpful, but some staff members may come across as aloof. The location is isolated, requiring a walk for amenities, but it boasts a beautiful beachfront setting. The dining experience is adequate with good local fruit, though service may fall short. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor inconveniences.

The hotel's rooms were incredibly comfortable and well-equipped, albeit slightly let down by minor upkeep issues making them feel a bit dim like a basement. The service was very friendly, helpful, and efficient, with special thanks to Carlos and Jorje. Its location directly on Playa Hermosa offers a beautiful setting but could use better hospitality concepts. The traditional Costa Rican dining was authentic and filling for a good value. The facilities provided a great pool and hot tub in a naturalized setting.

Nestled beneath a lush canopy of trees in a beautifully maintained garden, the hotel provided a serene and picturesque setting for our stay.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy and clean, and the oceanfront view with a private balcony and jacuzzi was simply delightful. The rainforest setting added to the charm of the place. The only minor downside was the occasional noise from footsteps above on lower floors due to the block-style architecture.
