“Very nice but a little more expensive than it is worth”

10/14 found this review helpful

The cabins are nice, the setting is beautiful, the beach is lovely, the food is good, service is just fine, etc.

However, there are nicer lodgings in the area for the same price (Almonds and Corals for example) and the food is more expensive than it is worth as well.

That said, this is not a negative review. It's a great place and is near to a Puerto Viejo which is lively all the time.

Our favorite activity was renting a scooter and driving to the Cuahito National Park for a day of snorkeling. It was extraordinary.
