Sep 05, 2026We recommmend
The rooms are fantastic, the personnel is even better. Super nice. The property is well maintained, clean, mosquito-free , nice pools. The beach is quite small, you have to go at low tide. The food at the buffet is unpretentious but it is excellent. The wine is pretty bad but the other beverages are good. It is a good home base to go scuba diving, then hang at the pool. For the price paid, I would call it a very good value.

Great resort
Amazing resort. Great staff and pool side bar was fun! Food was good easy access to beach. Resort is on a hill. Lots of steps but they do have ramped walkways and golf carts for accommodation

Aug 23, 2026Could Be Better
This place has great potential. Unfortunately, the execution is average. Food, service, activities, maintenance....all are an "almost".

Don't book, find somwhere else
Food not as good, entertainment not as good, and depends on your room, be careful with bay view that is too far from everything, either you will walk for so long (stairs most of it) or you will wait for their shuttle that does not operate for 24 hours. Be careful booking either on the beach tours they are not very good at all.

Aug 18, 2026Terrible disappointing experience
Terrible disappointing experience. Started with confirmed pick up at. Airport. Not there came an hour later when got help to call. Check in ok but no explanation of charges. Room view great. Room is in desperate need of repairs. Buffet dinner barely edible. 2 cheap win s offered and no selection. Very poor quality most starches available. Had hopes for breakfast. Never had such bland rice and beans and I’ve eaten many as several trips to Costa Rica. Breakfast disappointing. Service and friendliness doesn’t exist. Had better food ate Holiday Inn Express San Jose airport. Asked to eat at sit down Italian restaurant. Couldn’t accommodate a single women. My first time at an all inclusive but would hesitate doing it again. You have to go to your room by their truck vehicle. If you are a single woman it’s dangerous getting down deep step. I’m in good shape but was a challenge. Might be a good fit for 20-30! Years old who don’t know quality and come for water sports. If a senior avoid this so called adult inclusive resort
