Beautiful hotel
One of the most beautiful hotels I have been staying. Impeccable on the details. Friendly staff. Good location, 10 minutes from the center of Puerto Viejo. Excellent for toddlers. Good amenities. My only suggestion is about the breakfast, it is not so good, but not a problem you have many options near by. In general an unforgettable experience. Definitely I’ll be back.

We spent the last 4 days of our two week Costa Rica trip at this hotel. We had a large suite on the beachside. We felt it was modern, clean and comfortable. We didn’t even go to the main pool on the other side of the property because the beachside had 2 pools. One of them seemed to need a little TLC and we never saw one person over there. No bar or food service there, just a small pool with some chairs. It never felt too crowded and we always found a good shaded beach bed to spend the day. The staff was also lovely although the first day, it did seem like the bartender was not excited to be there and we were inconveniencing him. But otherwise the staff was great. I only gave 4 stars to the area around the property because I do think they could liven up that one beachside pool and upgrade the beach lounger chairs which seemed old and worn out.

Location is definitely top! Staff is incredible, they will go beyond to make you happy. Breakfast was delicious but the same every day, if you stay several nights like we did, gets a bit boring. Facilities are super outdated and old. The cleanliness overall of the place was very bad. I found old hair stuck all over the bathroom. Both pool areas also were super dirty! A little investment in the general hotel should be considered. Wood floors are broken in some areas making it dangerous to walk at night.

AMAZING is the only word to describe
Our stay here was absolutely amazing. We were there for a family medical emergency and the stay at this resort made it less emergency and more vacation and mostly because of the staff. All of the staff were amazing but Daniel went so far above and beyond he made us feel like we were cousins or something and he didn’t want to disappoint his own family, that’s how good his service was for us. The entire location couldn’t have been more perfect. The beach club and restaurant were absolutely tasty and amazing and one of the next views you can ask for anywhere in the world. I would stay here 1000 times out of a 1000 and then some.

Welcome to the jungle and purda Vida. This hotel is nestled in the jungle which was so beautiful and has its own beach club. Walking on the resort you might run into a holler monkey, sloth and other local animals that appear friendly towards humans. The staff is so kind and they have many amenities. The room seemed a little outdated but not bad for that area. Out of the properties I saw in the local area I would say that this location is probably the best as many of the hotels/resorts seem due for an update. Transportation around town is easy and convenient to include ATV/scooter rental right next to the resort. The hotel offers many tour packages which seemed over priced. If you go into main town you will usually get a better deal than what the hotel offers. The staff here were so kind and accommodating so I would definitely come back.
