The property was beautiful. It's right on the beach with the rain forest all around you. Every morning, we enjoyed walks along the beach and picked up brunch or lunch from restaurants along the beach. Very peaceful and family friendly.

I like that the bedroom and bathroom is spacious, feels like you are close to nature, downside is the restaurant is too pricy and that it’s not convenient to go to other restaurants or eatery.

We enjoyed our stay and the staff are wonderful. The grounds are stunning and the proximity to the beach is wonderful. My only gripe is the food. It’s just not that great but it is quite costly and often took a long time to be prepared. We enjoyed ourselves regardless but while traveling with a family, the quality and cost of daily meals is an important factor to consider.

Beautiful place on the beach Very gorgeous As a VIP member not only did we not receive a welcoming drink but there was not even any complimentary water or tea Although it said there was complimentary things such as local chocolate there was nothing It actually looked like the room was used before us snd not resupplied and when I asked the front desk person she said this property doesn’t come with it I was not impressed with their service But the property was in a beautiful neighborhood

Hidden gem, great for couples and families
Hidden gem in Playa Hermosa. Maybe the closest beachfront hotel to LIR airport (30 min). But when you arrive, it is like walking into Jurassic Park with all the mature trees and lush, tropical landscaping flowers. Checkin was fast and efficient. Manager took our luggage to the room which was a short, well-lit paved path from the lobby. Ample parking in a 247 guarded lot directly across road. Very secluded area. No other hotels or restaurants immediately nearby. That would be the only negative but a short drive or wade thru a shallow creek emptying to the beach puts you in mid-town Playa Hermosa with lots of pizza joints etc. We opted for eating at their restaurant. Simply divine cuisine. Prices like US but worth it. Watched the sunset before dinner next floor up. Banana daquiri with dark flor de cana rum, yumm yumm yumm. My better half enjoyed a strawberry mojito faster than I’ve ever seen her toma una bebida. Music at the bar and restaurant was a nice mix, not boom-boom loud and easy to talk over while hearing an instrumental of Hotel California etc. Family friendly area. Beach is gentle waves in a protected cove (pic from hotel). Soft white sand beach, good clarity despite recent storms, stays shallow for ~100’ from the beach. Had a nice long swim and considered a late night dip in the 24 hr pool and hot tub but we were flying out early the next am. Would definitely stay here again.

Mixed feelings
This was the final few nights of a longer trip through CR. This hotel is nice but it wasn't our favorite place and we have very mixed feelings about it. Good: rooms were clean and comfortable, most of the staff was friendly and helpful, chairs on the beach, the balcony beach view was nice. Bad: No deadbolt on the door. We only ate one small meal in the restaurant, and it wasn't good. After the fact we saw that it has a 3.9 on Google. The public access/park is adjacent to the hotel, so there was various activities, loud music, etc.. that interfere with enjoying the beach including people trying to sell stuff to the guests. Pool is on the small side. The overall vibe of the hotel and the area was very different than the awesome experiences we had in the interior of CR. We plan to return but not to Playa Hermosa/Playa Coco.
