The property is quite large with a couple of mile drive back to the reception. Our room was quite small, but functional enough. We also noted the candle and did experience two power outages for a few hours each. The restaurant was near and the food was so-so. Included breakfast buffet had a good variety, but nothing that was really great. The dinner buffet was over priced ($20) for what they had. We tried to go to the pool restaurant one night but it was closed at 7pm even though hours stated open until 9. not sure why. The best part of the restaurant was the animal entertainment. If people sat in the seats near the jungle, you can watch the monkeys and coatimundi"s start creeping in waiting for their chance to steal anything off their unattended plates or the entire container with sugar packets. Pretty funny. Staff would set off firecrackers to send them all running back into the woods for a few minutes before they began the creeping back. The pool was great. We saw the biggest iguana ever up in the trees near the pool. The beaches, especially the white sand beach were beautiful. Beware of monkeys again, they opened our bag and took the energy bars and bit into the box of wine before someone shooed them away. One night heading into Jaco we almost ran over a sloth as it tried to cross the road . That was exciting. So bottom line, okay place, so-so rooms, awful drive into the resort, blah food, beautiful beaches and pool, okay activities.

This very clean and beautifully landscaped hotel had a lot to offer. The setting was peaceful and well maintained. The rooms were a little small but were tucked in to the landscape which gave the illusion of privacy. All staff were very helpful and eager to please. The tour guide for the bird watching and butterfly gardens was very knowledgeable and interesting. The guys providing the zip line experience were fun and encouraging. The pools and beaches were beautiful and well equipped for tourists and their families

Three nites here -- was expecting more. Accomodations were pretty average. Grounds are truly lovely. I found that this place appeals more to TICOS -- Costa Rican nationals -- rather than US TOURISTS. For the price though the vacation value was very good.

This is a vast property but very easy to get around. Our room was in an area hidden amongst the trees - lovely but small - and very comfortable. We were close to the restaurant for breakfast which was included, and easily could walk to the beaches and pools. The staff here was very helpful - and our stay included a Monkey Canopy tour ---- we did this - and the guides were very helpful - but if you have any fear of heights do not go!!! I was terrified!!! Be aware there are protected animals in the area called Coati - they don't bother you - but they are sure around. This hotel is about a 3 mile drive in from the highway - and the grounds were very nice and lush - included is a butterfly pavillion - a grocery store - several restaurants - 3 different pools and 2 beaches. We loved our stay here.
