gem Of a place but needs some better management
Wonderful location and foundation. Better management is needed to give a better overall experience. We stayed at one of the highest condos and were given an overview during check in about the pool and bar to enjoy it during stay. Unfortunately we found later that bar is only open for weekends. Very disappointed because we were struggling to get vegan and allergy friendly food there and had hoped bar menu might accommodate. Had sent a note ahead about our food restrictions but received no response. Luckily in San Juan del sur there are food places accommodating. Felt bad for the drivers since there’s few of them to ask to drive us to top rather than taking stairs since I had a broken toe. They really need more drivers - or clearer understanding of expectations Couldn’t use room upstairs to sleep since air conditioning didn’t work

Beautiful Views... that’s about it.
We had a room that we need to get a ride up to in a truck, and Had to walk down a thousand steps to get down. The bar by our room was closed, no room service, so up and down. The beds not comfortable at all, and old dusty towels. Staff could care less that we were even there. the food was so-so, cocktails took about 30 minutes to get. I would not stay here again.

Wonderful views. Great location.
Short walk to beach and restaurants. Luggage delivery to rooms needs improvement as room access is too steep to permit self-carry or bellman style checkin. Delivery by back road via cheap is too slow.

Trip of a lifetime
Such an amazing hotel - super clean, amazing facilities. But most importantly was how great the staff were. Krystal (sorry for not knowing the spelling of your name) - saved my butt; I left my bag at reception and was on the way to the airport - she called the taxi driver, and had staff hand deliver to me when we went back for it. Mucho gracias! You won’t be disappointed

Mixed Review
The hotel was quiet, the rooms were clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly. The water faucet in our shower broke and our AC didnt work so they gave us a very nice updrade. The shower in the upgraded room didnt work either. They didnt fix it. There is nothing going on. tThey didn't even play music and there was not a single person in sight. The second issue is the stairs. There were 288 stairs to walk up to get to our room! Yes, 288, and we weren't even at the top of the resort. There is a driver to drive you there if you want to tip him each time, but we were back and forth from our room and town alot and that would have been super expensive. The transportation to any local attraction is 10 times more expensive than any shuttle service in town, AVOID HOTEL PROVIDED TRANSPORT. Unless your pockets are super deep just don't do it. I consider the price of their transport to be the definition of price gouging. Our last night we decided to have dinner at the resort, (their food is SUPER expensive). My husband ordered filet mignon, which came out as folded over flank steak to make it look thicker. My lobster was way overcooked and the person working at the bar had to walk to the main bar (which is far) to get our food. Needless to say it was cold by the time we got it but we felt so bad for the guy that had to go pick it up down those stairs that we didn't complain. There are better places in town for much less money and you will probably be happier with one of those.

Great but Older.
In this area this place was a great place. Safety and accommodating was the strong points. This place is getting old and needs some upgrading and repairs. It is very nicely done, just older. Loved the bathrooms!

Nice Place
Family hotel well located and good rooms. The restaurant's food is average and its price is expensive for the quality it offers. In food you must go to another place.
