Good

We are a party of 6 that stayed in 3 Junior Suites. Rooms are nice and service is good. Property urgently needs updating and repairs. According to the information displayed in Expedia, Breakfast was supposed to be free but, the hotel staff said that it was not included in the rate. So we had no complimentary breakfast.
Room was excellent and the property was beautiful. Perhaps the best resort I've stayed at in Costa Rica. My only complaint was that service was slow. Check in took forever. Service at the pool bar was painfully slow.
Really a nice hotel. The pool was exceptional. The counter staff that I interfaced with or knowledgeable, efficient and very friendly, certainly customer orientated individuals work at this place
The property is nice but need to be updated a little. The pool is amazing they have a game room cool restaurant is open 24 hours. Breakfast is the same everyday. The hotel is like a 10 min walk to Jaco Way and the beach
The staff is very welcoming and eficiente. The only thing I wish it could have more nature or green spaces inside. Everything else is very nice

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Not a 4 stars hotel, most likely a 3 stars. Is limited, prices are affourdable, pool is open til 5am in the morning, music must go down by 10 pm. Parking is limited.
Hotel is not beach front but is some minutes away from it
It was clean and nice but a little out of date. Definitely liked that they were pet friendly. Only bad thing was no internet in the room we stayed in at the back of the facility. Restaurant is fantastic.
