| This small resort is top-notch. Everything is easily accessible and it is actually easier to go to your room for a bathroom break than to use one of the bathrooms around the resort....that is how close everything is. |
|
| Your Arrival |
| Fast and easy! We were not part of a tour package so we had arranged our own transportation with the hotel transportation company and they were there waiting for us at the airport. Check in was easy and we were greeted with a cocktail. |
|
| Rooms |
| Fabulous room overlooking the pool, bed and linens were top-notch! Mini-bar was no included in the all-inclusive and the cupboard were the fridge was located was locked, we had to ask to have it unlocked in order to use the fridge. |

| Restaurants and Bars |
Food was amazing, I didn't have one bad meal, a la carte food is way above a 3* and in the 5* range. Chef David is fabulous and as long as he is there we will return.
Bar service was a bit slow, they were almost understaffed. We were travelling with a large group for a wedding and whenever we had a large table getting a second drink was near impossible. It was explained to us by Chef David that he is still training his staff to get better at this part, I hope so for next time!
The bars were not open past 10pm :( except for the casino. The Sunset Bar was a great place to have drinks and dinner, but it really needs to stay open a bit later. Across the street just outside the resort are a few bars and restaurants that were open longer. |

| Beach/Pools/Grounds |
Fabulous, the beach is located across the road (small not busy path is more like it), which wasn't an issue at all. Lounge chairs were provided by a guard at the entrance/exit area and he would take it to the beach for you. The pool was awesome and always clean.
The grounds were very well maintained, the night lighting with the tiki lights made for a fabulous ambiance. |
|
| Activities on and off the Resort/Hotel |
| Ziplining is a blast. Playa Conchal and Playa Grande are great beaches to visit. Tamarindo was a neat place to see, but a bit of a tourist trap. The volcano trip was way too long of a trip to do from this resort on a bus....would be much better off renting a car from the airport and seeing that area before you head south to Flamingo. The tour group doesn't tell you that the volcano isn't visible many many days of the year. |

| The wedding was amazing and the resort really caters to the bride and grooms needs, they were treated like royalty by the staff. |

Rooms:
Comfortable, clean and everything we needed. Soundproof quiet yet upon waking - enjoyed the sound of waves crashing on the beach through open aired hallways/views.
Restaurants and Bars:
Chef Dave is a creative and gifted artist, friendly, open to suggestions, visible, fave of mine was the fresh Mahi Mahi Florentine, bon Appetit! Best deal yet was their daily fresh fish of the day, grilled or fried, served w/ choice of rice, mashed potats, black beans, fresh veggie saute and anything else your heart desires. More than ample to please the palate and pleasure the tummy. The Jumbo Shrimp were well worth the additioanl $3(for those all-inclusive plan' folks, wow!) Enjoyed some random, live musical entertainment, always music in the air, bar staff superb and attentive. Elesius (sorry, can't remember how to spell your name) and Karla especially thanks for making our time a memorable one!
Beach/Pools/Grounds:
Imacculately kept, great for any age group (accommodating to kids, too). Luxurious tropical landscaping w/ awesome lighting at night. BEACH IS THE BEST!!! Perfect water/ocean temp when we were there (67 maybe?), clear - great for body surfing, sea kayaking, swimming and just floating around.
Activities on and off the Resort/Hotel:
Concierge Danise is always there w/ a smile and info about what is available, the Zip Lines scared me to death however my cohorts thoroughly enjoyed every thrill seeking moment. The ride to/from was enough to qualify as an adventure in itself! Horse riding on the beach at sunset, river trip to hang out w/ crocodiles/gigantic Iguanas, rare birds...Catamaraning on the Lazy Lizard was also a highlight, snorkeling and a bite at fishing all included. Awesome, unlimited FUN.

| We were greeted promptly and shown to our room, which was lovely; it looked out over the pool. The pool area was spectacular; the beach was literally across the street. There was a great New Year's Eve party, with a dinner buffet, live music, and fireworks; I've never seen any place have such an elaborate party! I didn't go on any tours but members of my family did. Some went horseback riding, ATV driving to the canopy where they used zip lines to see the view, and snorkeling; they were very enthusiastic about all of the excursions. This was a trip I'd definitely repeat.
