Starting with the positives: we had a lake view room, and the view was excellent, everyone in the family really enjoyed it. The staff was also very helpful and friendly. The hotel itself is quite old and has a two-level layout, with one level below grade, which is understandable. However, the corridors are very dark even during the daytime, making the space feel gloomy. We also noticed a few bugs in the room. While some bugs are expected in a tropical rainforest setting, we’ve stayed at other hotels in similar environments that manage this much better. In Costa Rica especially, effective ventilation, lighting, and pest control are important. This hotel would benefit greatly from addressing these issues.

It was a beautiful location with a lot of potential. The staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately it is poorly managed. We were there for 12 days and only had our room cleaned twice. Our room had no TV (as promised on their website) No fridge. Not even a couple bottles of water. When we asked about that the response was that we had booked a Standard room. We've stayed at multiple different resorts in Mexico and Dominican Republic and always had TV, fridge, coffeepot and bottled water. We always book standard or economy rooms. First time they cleaned was our 4th day and they only did it because the night before we had a swarm of insects coming through a hole in the wall behind the bed! They did not offer us a different room. They sprayed the hole and put tape over it. Promised to do a deep clean the next day. Their definition of deep clean is obviously different from ours. I don't think they even mopped the floor. A few days later I asked if we could get our room cleaned. The owner/manager gave me a curt nod and was unfriendly for the rest of our stay. Very disappointed!

Hotel itself was ok. Service was terrible. We signed up online for a night tour and the time listed on the website said 6:30 pm. I did not check the confirmation reservation for the time once in Costa Rica, I just went back to the website. We checked in about 4:30 p.m., hung out in our room and then headed to the lobby at 6:25 for our tour. We were met by Victor who seemed a little uncomfortable that we arrived for the tour. His English wasn't great which would not have been a problem if he had been able to do the tour. He took us out and was reading off tidbits from his phone. He did not locate any wildlife. We spotted an armadillo and a couple of spiders. 45 minutes later (for a two-hour tour) we were back at the lobby. When I sent an email to complain about the tour I was told that Victor was the maintenance manager and that the tour was at 6 and the guide left when we were a "no show". I knew Victor wasn't the guide when he told me there were Toucans every day and when I asked which type he said "grey". I contacted the hotel to ask for a refund of our money and they refused saying the confirmation email said 6 p.m. I sent back a screen shot to show their website said 6:30 and was told they'd let their manager know and see about a refund. Shocking - never heard from them again.

This is a gem of a resort. Beautiful property well maintained, excellent food and service, and alot to do including pickleball, nature walks, pool tables, hot tub and pool. Nice accommodations for a family of 4 (2 teenagers) where they each hot their own double bed. King size bed as well!! Highly recommend! Owner was super friendly and gave us a history of the area.
