I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and had all the necessary toiletries. The service was top-notch, with extremely helpful and friendly staff. The location, right on the beautiful Playa Hermosa beach, was simply spectacular. The dining experience was a bit overpriced for what was offered, but it didn't hinder my overall enjoyment.

The hotel offers spacious and well-appointed rooms with a spacious bathroom; however, the ongoing construction can be noisy and hazardous. The service is attentive and helpful, but some staff members may come across as aloof. The location is isolated, requiring a walk for amenities, but it boasts a beautiful beachfront setting. The dining experience is adequate with good local fruit, though service may fall short. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor inconveniences.

The hotel's rooms were incredibly comfortable and well-equipped, albeit slightly let down by minor upkeep issues making them feel a bit dim like a basement. The service was very friendly, helpful, and efficient, with special thanks to Carlos and Jorje. Its location directly on Playa Hermosa offers a beautiful setting but could use better hospitality concepts. The traditional Costa Rican dining was authentic and filling for a good value. The facilities provided a great pool and hot tub in a naturalized setting.

Nestled beneath a lush canopy of trees in a beautifully maintained garden, the hotel provided a serene and picturesque setting for our stay. The rooms, located on the second floor, boasted a long balcony featuring a cozy sitting area and even a built-in spa tub, perfect for bridal preparations. However, the dining experience was below average, offering traditional Costa Rican cuisine that was authentic but not exceptional.

The hotel is truly a gem, offering a unique experience of being in a room that feels like you're on display with adjoining guest rooms giving you almost the entire floor. The comfort level is top-notch, and the AC and beach-working Wi-Fi add to the perfection. However, the pricing could be considered on the higher side despite the excellent value for money.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy and clean, and the oceanfront view with a private balcony and jacuzzi was simply delightful. The rainforest setting added to the charm of the place. The only minor downside was the occasional noise from footsteps above on lower floors due to the block-style architecture.

The hotel is perfectly nestled in the jungle at ground level, opposite reception, and conveniently close to the pool. The rooms are clean and equipped with all necessary toiletries, a mini fridge, and a coffee maker, offering a private balcony or patio for a delightful experience. While the dining can be a bit overpriced, the captivating location right at the beach and surrounded by lush forests is truly a remarkable feature.
