The pool is excellent the beachfront is nice and the rooms are decent especially the shower. Our room was not cleaned once during a 3-day stay and the breakfast while free is of poor quality. We made several requests of the staff and they were able to fulfill some of those.

The hotel is great. Big, surrounded by nature, trees, a river, 2 excellent swimming pools and the staff is very friendly. Our room was simply perfect.
The restaurant is a joke, a bad joke. They got almost nothing to serve. They dont even show you the menu because 70% of the menu is out. So you will eat what they got, not what you want. Quality of the food not good and terribly expensive.

Is a beautiful place indeed the nature is breath taking, but few misses like the internet signal didn't reach oor room and the place is in a remote area so no internet also. Plus the 50 dollars per day for a dog a bit expensive. The rest amazing, friendly staff great views great food o recommend it

Quel lieu ! Un vrai havre de paix au cœur de la nature, qui nous a permis un moment de détente entre amoureux pendant notre roadtrip au Costa Rica. Les piscines thermales sont à parfaite températures. Je recommande vraiment de réserver 2 nuits minimum ou de prévoir quelques heures à profiter de cet espace (pas juste venir dormir) car ce serait passer à côté de quelque chose ! Merci à toute l'équipe pour votre accueil.

Un goût de trop peu
En ne restant qu'une nuit nous n'avons pas pu apprécier tout le potentiel de l'établissement. Toutefois nous avons bien profité de la piscine d'eau thermale bien chaude pour se détendre.
Le restaurant est correct mais sans plus les portions sont un peu trop grandes.
Les chambres sont spacieuses, la literie très confortable.
Le site est magnifique. Nous aurions aimé rester plus longtemps.
