This shop has by far the best fleet of high speed dive cruisers in Costa Rica. Great friendly staff and very easy to work with. Sisinio - the shop manager will insure the shop does their very best to help make your vacation a worth while experience.

Moldy, dirty. The air conditioner filter may never have been cleaned as it had a filthy build up. The hotel was advertised as beachfront, but where's the beach... Can't wait for morning! In general we cannot believe the prices of really bad stays in Costa Rica. A 5 star resort we stayed in earlier this week was similarly priced. The... More

Our stay was okay. A little disapointing honestly. It deffinatly is not a four star like they claim. Although the views are beautiful the hotel could use some updates. Rooms were very dated and simple. Beds were comfortable. Staff were decently friendly. Nice pools and common areas. The bathroom was something you'd see at a motel 6. Very dated and... More

I was booked into this hotel via a group I traveled with and would NOT return or recommend. View is great, bird viewing excellent, however rooms run down and not very clean, thousands of ants invaded and trailed up the walls in two different rooms (400 and 300 building), also swarmed under the door so moved out early so none...

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The first room we received had a view of the ocean with a large roof just below it so not really a good view. One quick call and we had a new room with a great view. Accommodations seemed a little dated but overall, our experience was good. We also set up SCUBA... More

This was more than I expected!!! A true dream - a place to relax, explore, and meet some of the nicest people on Earth!! I can't think of anything that I did not like. The front desk staff were helpful, friendly and personable. Housekeeping, dining area staff, diving shop staff and groundskeepers were also wonderful, helpful, personable and friendly. They... More

Great price! Beautiful pools, beaches, and location! Traditional breakfast included which was a blessing. Food for lunches and dinners average to slightly better than average but no concern because lots of great restaurants within a short taxi ride away. The housekeeping staff were very conscientious. The front desk staff were very helpful and gracious. To save money we bought sandwich... More

We moved to this hotel after a bad experience in annother resort. The staff was brilliant the views were the BEST in the area (ask for rooms 400-4010). We had an infinity pool infront of our room, almost exclusive. They have an in house diving PADI shop and they took us to amazing diving locations. Food was good and staff... More

This hotel has a beautiful location with a breathtaking view. We stayed for two nights over the Christmas holiday and were really only impressed by the views. We arrived two hours before check-in and we hoped they could check us in early; they said they’d let us know. When check-in time rolled around the room was “being cleaned.” Rather than... More

Unbelievable! It was nighttime when I checked in, so I couldn't really take in the views or grounds for that matter. When I got to my room, it took the worker 10 min to figure out how to turn on the lights... I left left standing there in total darkness with swarms of bugs all around me waiting outside. When...
