I just completed another trip to Costa Rica. I must say this was one of the most accommodating boutique hotels I have ever stayed in. The staff was über attentive and friendly. Aside from a 7.9 earthquake up the road a couple hundred kilometers everything was perfect. Ersel gave a nice two hour tour of Manuel Antonio national park that... More

I went for a family wedding and loved the place. You'll find the staff is strict about following policies but it's not their fault. The service is great and for the wedding everything was done properly. Had the suite which is great for up to 8 people, with lots of room, a small fridge and a microwave. The main pool... More

We were in Bldg 1 on the smaller private beach, which was the best in my view. Room was great, very clean, great views.... More

Stayed here for 4 nights with fam of 5 (kids: 22, 19, 11). It was pricey, but you got what you paid for. Hands down one of the friendliest, most helpful staffs I've ever stayed with.
