Our stay at this property was great. We were well cared for and had the perfect mix of fun and relaxation during our say. The staff were very attentive and friendly. A big thank you to Andre and Antonio for getting us settled. We were at the hotel during a local holiday (Annexation of Nicoya) and the restaurant staff went out of their way to tell us all about the holiday and many other cultural details. During our stay we were able to use the kayaks to go around the island during the day and go on the bioluminescence tour at night. Our guides Josue and Oliver were so knowledgeable and even though we had a lot of rain during our bioluminescence tour, Josue and Oliver’s great attitudes and wealth of knowledge made it just another part of the adventure. We stayed for two nights with our two sons (8 and 12) and it was just the right amount of time to enjoy the islands flora and fauna, hotel amenities, and get some relaxation in. The highlights of our trip were the Howler Monkeys right outside our Glamping tent, the amazing staff, and seeing lighting, bioluminescence, jumping fish, and firefly’s all at the same time. All that is to say that we highly recommend this hotel. :)

Nueva administración y todo cambió. Se perdió el servicio personalizado. Casi nos dejan sin cenar porque supuestamente estaba todo lleno. Después de rogar nos dieron cita a las 7:30 y llegamos estaban la mitad de las mesas vacías. Nos iban a dejar sin cenar sabiendo que no teníamos otra opción de donde ir, y eso a pesar que desde las 5pm estábamos pidiendo cita. Lástima el hotel que tanto queremos ahora es el hotel del NO, y todo por un mal gerente. El resto de empleados excelentes.

It was unique experience and so was the bioluminiscence tour. It ws very hot when we visted and lack of air conditioner made it worse for us. We wanted to do a tour offered by the hotel but that was cancelled. There is an additional $60 environment fee over the regular room cost. Considering everything, I probably won't visit again.
