The staff is incredibly friendly, loved that they bothered to remember your name and room number. The rooms were pretty. The pool is nice but needed some cleaning. The beach is relaxing and it feels very natural as locals often visit the same beach, doesn't feel so touristy, which I like. The sand is gray but the water is clear, you can see fish! The sunset is breathtaking. There isn't much, if anything, to do nearby. We had to take a cab or wait for tour guides to pick us up but the drive to the nearest attractions isn't so bad. About 15-20 mins to Coco Beach where the nightlife is pretty live. You can request a cab at the front desk but the wait isn't less than 20 minutes. Food is okay and really overpriced. I recommend going out to eat and return prepared with beverages and snacks if you plan to spend the day at the hotel. (A can of Pepsi was 2$!). Breakfast was better than I thought as they had a cook preparing eggs.

We found this place to be very nice. The staff was great. The grounds are well kept. Very nice pool. It is a little remote but we got out alot. We used Herson as our guide several times. He is awesome. He will show you anything you want to see. His English is good also.And you can contact him threw the front desk." I highly recommend him".
I would stay here again for sure.

We stayed at this resort for two nights in early December 2012 and it was very relaxing! Not too many other couples/groups were there so it was nice and quiet. When we left on Saturday I could tell it was going to get more busy over the weekend, however. The rooms were very well maintained and we had lots of room. The pool was fantastic. The food at the restaurant was good and we received very good customer service! The beach, which is within steps of the resort, was very peaceful. We drove into El Coco for dinner and had a nice time. Small town, lots of culture and locals.

Overall, great experience!

Pool is awesome. Beach is okay... it's gray sand. Water was warm and calm December 22 to 26, 2012. Not blue however.....it's brownish. Rooms need a little help. They are very dark even during the day because there are not enough lights. The bath/toilet/shower/sink all need updating. The linens and curtains also need to be updated. If you don't like bugs, don't come to Costa Rica. Bugs are part of the trip and if you're petrified of them, stay home :) Bring bug repelant or you will get bit by mosquitoes/chiggers/etc. (not in your room, but on the beach)

Food in the restaurant was very, very good. The chef even prepared sauces and side dishes for the mahi-mahi that we caught deep sea fishing earlier in the day and we had the best meal of our entire trip here. Restaurant is open air. They are in the process of building a whole new section of the hotel which is said to have kitchenettes and multiple bedrooms when it's complete (late in 2013). Very quiet area of Costa Rica and the side walks roll up around 6 pm. No nightlife at all unless you want to drive pretty far to a different beach.
