We got stranded in Costa Rica because of a tropical storm and had to leave the vrbo we were staying at. The shana was more than accommodating and found 4 rooms for us and made us real right at home. The property is gorgeous with tons of wild life and beautiful views. We would definitely return to this hotel on future visits!

Excellent location, beautiful surroundings and easy access to its private beach! Monkeys stole the show! Plenty of wildlife to see! Breakfast buffet was ok, not many selections. The hotel could use a hot tub especially during rainy season when the temperatures are low.

This property is NOT worthy of a 4-star category. I had booked a Oceanview room with a king bed for a 2 night stay. There were several issues.Toilet would not flush unless you press & hold the knob all the way until it completed the flush cycle. Calling repair service didn't help. Bathroom sink faucet was actually a very old style single handle with a long spout more like a kitchen sink faucet. Bathroom sink had no sink stopper or strainer with ugly sinkhole fully visible. Old wooden furniture with sticky wooden top surface everywhere in the room. All the old furniture, bathroom & shower fixtures desperately needs upgrading for aesthetic and appealing look & feel. Breakfast choices in the restaurant were very mediocre with very little options for vegetarians. For me this was more like a 2.5 star hotel and doesn't deserve 4-star classification.

I had a really delightful stay here. It’s in a beautiful place, easily accessible by taxi. I was lucky enough to get upgraded to a jungle view room and had monkeys visit me every day on the balcony. My only critique was that the food was unimpressive. Breakfast was disappointing and the dinner was rather bland and underseasoned and a bit over priced. But I took a taxi into town for the second night and had a great meal there. The staff was kind and professional and the facilities were very clean. The views from the room and pool are breathtaking.
