The villas are fantastic and staff was so nice and offered great service. The view of birds and other wildlife was nice. One of the staff took us where we needed to go a stayed right with us which was great since the villas are rather remote. They store modern with private pools in each. I will definitely go back.

Located in the heart of the mountain, access only by 4x4, with stunning views from the restaurant and main pool as well as from the villa. Food at the restaurant is very good and the customer service is top notch.

We had total privacy, a wonderful plunge pool and a view across the trees and valley to the Pacific, sunsets and Uvitas whale's tail, a huge sand bar that appears and disappears with the tide. The food was very good, but not excellent. It is luxurious and everyone tries really, really hard to please guests. Toucans and other birds stopped by our patio, 10 feet away. We enjoyed our stay very much.

My fiancé and I enjoyed a relaxing week at this hotel. It's very close to town and they have great recommendations for activities around the area or a little outside the town of Uvita. The staff was absolutely fantastic! Paolo went out of his way to make our experience memorable and made us feel right at home. Definitely staying here on our next visit!

Amazing beautiful room and views. Things missing that should be basic at any luxury hotel: no black out curtains so I was up at 5:50 every morning because of the bright sun (& no one wants to get up that early every day while on vacation). No luggage rack, no full length mirror, no tissues or Q-tips. No doormat in front of the room which meant we tracked mud into the room every day. No dimmers on the lights and no lamps so it’s a choice beteeen bright and complete darkness. I could go on but I think there enough.

OMG the pictures don’t do it justice! Sooooo beautiful. The staff is SO accommodating. Very clean but remember you are in the middle of the jungle so there are bugs and insects. The food is delicious. You will absolutely need a 4x4 to get there. No complaints. Would def stay again

FIRST TIP: Make sure you have a 4x4 truck, the mountain incline decline is very steep. Outside of that my stay here was outstanding. I just got back from celebrating my birthday and the staff as well as the owner was very kind, very welcoming. They stayed up all night and giving us directions and leading us up the mountain until we got there and I truly appreciate that. And then on my birthday they made a cake and sing Happy Birthday it was very sweet. The cleaning staff does an amazing job keeping the rooms clean. Once we left and came back to our rooms it was spotless smelled amazing and they kept the pools clean as well. The chef did his thing every night and the food was very delicious. Thank you for showing me a great time while there. The views were fantastic.

Our stay at the golden pineapple was wonderful. My husband and I love to travel to new countries and hotels. This was by far the best place we have ever stayed. The drive up to the hotel does require a 4x4 vehicle. However, we did not view this as a negative. Nothing amazing comes easy! The views were spectacular and actually enticed to want to stay at the resort which says a lot as we typically prefer to leave each day. The food was great. And service was even better! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The previous negative reviews have unrealistic expectations or blame this property for things out of their control. I would definitely come back again and encourage anyone to stay here when visiting CR. So much to do nearby! Thank you Jessie for a wonderful experience.

The stay was fantastic, the food was fresh and delicious. The view absolutely gorgeous. The privacy of our villa was the perfect experience. The service was on point. Definitely a highlight in our trip. The only negative I can say was the drive to the villas. The roads are unpaved for about 15min. Very bumpy and steep roads. Highly dont recommend arriving there at night. Other than that, it was amazing !
