Otherwise amazing hotel plagued by rude staff and tour buses. First, this a hotel is used by Americans in bus tours - expect hundreds of them any given time. Second, the staff is incredibly rude. We had an issue with our keys and the reception employee, Ana Belen, refused to help us or even try to understand the issue. TV turned up by itself in the middle of the night. The toilet flush situation is terrible, there is simply no pressure. The good thing, hotel is nearby the Cloud Reserve, breakfast is good and pool looks good.

A great location near downtown while staying in the middle of nature. The property is full of wildlife and all of the staff is super helpful. Breakfast is delicious and definitely recommend the banana bread! Austin the bartender is great, we visited him for a few happy hours. While you’re there check out the spa and excellent way to recover from zip lining! The property was larger than expected so we were thankful for the shuttle to get us around. One flag is that there was no AC in the hotel rooms but at night it cooled off.

booked an ocean view room expecting, well… a view of the ocean. What I got was a major letdown. There is absolutely no way you can see the ocean from these rooms – it's way too far. It honestly felt like a scam. If I had known, I would’ve just saved the money and gone with a standard room. They really shouldn’t be advertising these as “ocean view” unless you’re actually seeing the ocean.
The hotel itself is massive, overall beautiful!
Another issue was the lighting in the room. There was barely any natural or artificial light, which made the room super dark, especially in the mornings when trying to get ready. Not ideal at all.
On the brighter side, breakfast was really good and the staff were very friendly. But check-in took forever.

Beautiful property and awesome views. Lots of wildlife on the resort- coati, hummingbirds, crested guan, among others. Offered private reserve and night tours on property. Convenient to national park. Restaurant had good food. Large rooms, modern and comfortable

The open stone bathroom in our villa made you feel like one with nature, it also allowed nature feel at home in the villa..

This property is a great place to stay but it definitely needs an upgrade. It's like stepping back into the late 70s and 80s. The views were amazing and the activities they have on the property are great but do costs, and as much as you wanna belive that all Central America is cheap, Costa Rica is not. So be ready to shell out the cash for extra curricular activities as if you were back in the US.

This property is set on a mountain and gives a very nice nature feel. Check in was very nice. Lunch, including vege options was very good. Breakfast was also very good. On the hand room had very dim lights, very limited furniture. One lamp was not working and required two calls to get it replaced. Only one soap - for hand was or shower. No body wash or lotion. Only shampoo; no conditioner.For breakfast you have to drive down for over a mile depending on your room location.
