The view is amazing. Lots of steps and space which we liked but could be an inconvenience to some. Pool was never crowded so could always find a spot. Food at the restaurants was very good. The buffet food was alright. I think it may have been better if the food was hot or at least hotter. Staff were all amazing. If needed something they were on it. Made the stay great. The excursion place on resort was not pushy and very knowledgeable. The bonus was the excursions we did were a direct pick up and drop off. We did not have to stop at numerous other resorts. Beach was nice but not a long stretch of sand. We snorkeled right off the beach and say many fish. We would definitely recommend based off the experience we had during our 7 day vacation.

The grounds are gorgeous. The pools are great. No breakfast options other than the cafeteria which has very little food variation. The snack bar is extremely limited. The steak grill restaurant is awful. Italian and Oriental restaurants are excellent. Staff helpfulness is hit or miss. JJ who helps coordinate excursions is really helpful and extremely polite. Enrique is also extremely helpful and professional.

I will say the property itself is very pretty. The views are gorgeous. But that is where it ends. The food was so bad. No variety and the quality of food was subpar . There was nothing to do other than swim or go down to the beach. The nightlife there was non existent. The excursions were good but way overpriced.

Beautiful Place, on the mountain side of the pacific coast, the main staircase from reception down to the first large pool is incredible. Birds, Monkeys, Iguanas--everywhere. Nice people, friendly service, lots of food and drink options. Beach has wonderful shells at low tide and great swimming. Rent a car for your stay and travel on your own to some of the remote beaches to the North--the roads are rough--but the adventure is something you will remember for the rest of your days. Take two big drives--go to Monte Verde and see the cloud forest--don't forget to drink some coffee in Monte Verde's small town on the way out. Then go to Rincón de la Vieja National Park and see the volcano. Just incredible. VIDA PURA

It’s a beautiful property in a lovely, hilly area, therefore not good for those with physical handicaps. Close to the airport which is good for flights, although there is no help with luggage for an early departure. Food and restaurants are good but repetitive menu. Staff is very friendly but they can’t always provide some service when you want it. The rooms are very clean but the gym could use some cleaning products.

Property was well kept. The people are very nice. Our room was supplied with nice towels and the bed was good. The speciality restaurants were nice, the food was good, but once the service was very slow. The pools were nice, one that was more quiet. Overall, it was a nice holiday.

The resort is beautiful, quiet, and not crowded. The room and furniture needs upgrade but not a big issue with me. The bed is comfortable. Check-in took too long. Only one person doing check in. Also disorganized. Our group of 4 arrived a day late due to flight was turned around then cancelation due to maintenance issue. We were charged the first night that we did not make it. When we arrived the next day, our rooms were not ready. Finally got out rooms but not together how we have requested. I hate to say it but they gave our rooms to someone else and got paid twice for our rooms. Disappointed with the food. Same everyday. The ladies in the buffet dinning area were very friendly. The shuttle guys and orher staffs are very friendly.

The staff was amazing except for like one or two persons at the main buffet but the over all experience was amazing, the place is so amazing and relaxing. I enjoyed everything about this place, the beach was literally on the resort and they had an amazing pool with a bar. Would definitely go to this place again. Being in Costa Rica really make you feel like you are literally living life. Love this place so much.

What I like most was the convenience of excursions (package for purchasing) and food options. Literally all inclusive food including drinks but for top shelf you’ll new to upgrade to premium. Beautiful property with several amenities including a private beach. I definitely recommend this resort. What I dislike to say the least… Shopping and overall neighborhood wasn’t walkable you had to uber or taxi to the nearest town since the resort sits on the top of a mountain.

Fun getaway. Beautiful property. Felt safe. The tours offered by the resort were fun, reasonable pricing. All inclusive buffets were a bit repetitive and hit or miss in terms of quality. The evening restaurant food was much better and required reservations. If you purchase the premium drink option you might like the drinks more. Cocktails were a bit too sour and weak.

Located on the side of a hill - everything was uphill or downhill and lots of distance between, tough on older people. Reception was slow for check-in, making dining reservations were difficult - only one person was able to do them and if she was busy doing a check-in nobody else could step in.

Calm and serene experience.

Lovely room, very comfortable bed and pillows. Amazing view from our room of the ocean. Stunning property and grounds. Very nice pool. Steps down to the great beach, lots of loungers and shade under the trees where you can spot Capuchin monkeys and other animals. Will stay longer next time. Highly recommend for rest, relaxation and good food. Very close to Liberia airport.
