Mattress or sheets smelled badly. (Sweat or …?) Mattress worn Bathroom smell, possibly by a bad/worn seal. Breakfast buffet poor choice. Ceiling light not working. No internet access (perhaps not the responsibility of hotel) (note: not related to my computer; no one had access) All this in an Deluxe room.

Thank you for your comments. The mattress is only 2 years old and has been slept in. The smell is due to the closeness to the jungle and the high humidity we have near the coast. As we are ecofriendly we do not have A/C running all day. And what I cannot believe: we have a long breakfast buffet with... More

This has been one of our favorite restaurants over the past 5-6 years with fabulous food and excellent service. We recognize the economy has been tough on Costa Rica but imagine our surprise when we discovered our top shelf margaritas were $25/piece, $31 with tax. What a "hangover"!

The hotel sits on a mountain overlooking Pacific Ocean although there is no access route to the beach from there. There are two distinct areas at this hotel. The more pricier location is the main hotel where the restaurant and lobby is located. Lower on the mountain is the area called the "jungle rooms". They cost less and are definitely... More
