Stayed the weekend and wish we had more time to participate in the full schedule of activities the resort had created. Each night there was entertainment planned that didn't disappoint. The swim up bars closed really early which was unfortunate for us since we came back from our tours late. Guest services had bad hours as well. We weren't allowed... More

Staff were all friendly and knowledgeable. We were initially checked into a room that was under bathroom construction and there were bags of dirty water next to the tiolet. Awesome first impression. The next room we had wasa bit of an upgrade. As far as the room goes this is no fancy resort, I'd label it as a hotel. For... More

This former Fiesta Resort is now being managed by HIlton. It's great location between San Jose and Liberia makes it a well known place for Costa Ricans, Europeans and Americans. The grounds have remained lovely but the quality of service, food and the value for the money has decreased significantly. Although the location is appealing, the property no longer makes... More

My husband and I stayed at the Doubletree at the end of April, and had a very pleasant experience. We weren't able to get a room in building 3 (after reading other reviews, I had requested this building), so we were put in building 2. The room was very similar to an Embassy suites layout, but wasn't as nice. The... More

My Girlfriend and I stayed here for 7 days this past April, and had an excellent experience. The property is an easy 50 min from San Jose, and conveniently located to any type of adventure/leisure activity you could imagine(Volcanoes, Waterfalls, Rainforests, Catamaran/boating, Hiking, etc.) More on that later. Upon arrival, the reception was friendly and efficient, greeting us warmly, and... More

Things I liked about it were: -The choice of pools, snack/drink bars, and food during the meals was great! -The staff was great, and almost everyone worked with a smile and positive attitude. -The room was simple but nice, and room...

We enjoyed our 5 days at this all-inclusive resort. It was heaven to relax in and out of the four pools. We were most impressed with the young, friendly, and courteous staff. They seemed to enjoy working there. We also liked the mix of young singles, couples, seniors, and families who were all content and having a good time swimming,... More

My fiancee and I stayed at this resort last week. We had a BLAST! First off, I think all resorts are what you make if it and people need to remember: 1. It's Central America, NOT North America; 2. Culture is different; 3. The tourism industry, though fairly new, is the biggest industry in Costa Rica; 4. Many citizens speak... More

I am a Tica living in NYC. On my recent April 2012 home visit, decided to take my family (4 adults & 2 teens) on a 3 day vacation to this hotel. The bus boy (who had an attitude) carried our luggage from the check-in desk to building #3, then told us that the elevator was broken and therefore everybody... More
