The property is gorgeous, the views are amazing. But: Our sheets had a red stain, it seems like blood. The restaurant is way too expensive, and I'm not saying this blindly, you can tell the food quality is below average. (We are locals, we know what you can buy and how much it costs). We got bread during our lunch, they gave us toasts, and clearly from the day before or who knows when. We order a hamburger and a pita, the bread wasn't totally fresh. The oil used for the French fries was cheap smelly oil, a nightmare for the stomach. We got sick. We order a couple of Aperol Spritz (priced at $24 each, not even in Europe), the proportions and the mix were totally wrong, it was almost all prosecco and was missing enough Aperol. I know this because I make my own drinks, and my best friend is freaking good at it, so we've been studying the recipe for over a year. When I told the waiter about it, he asked me what's wrong, I tried to explain, and when I told him it wasn't properly mixed, he replied back, saying that was normal because of the liquor density... I came out rude saying I wasn't going to argue with him about how to do it, that we wanted a new drink. He insisted on knowing what was wrong or he was going to be charged for it. So that tells me that restaurant is poorly managed, I told him if that was the case then I'll pay them, but he said it was fine, that he already talked to his boss. The restaurant killed it for us, not planning on going back.

It's a beautiful hotel. Not a lot to do at the hotel. It was the slow season. Beautiful pool. The staff was very friendly and accommodating when we found a huge spider and some bugs in our first room. They upgraded us to a villa, no extra charge.

The quality of the service has dramatically decrease. The staff at the receptions are not locals and their knowledge of the hospitality world is null, this was the worst check in and check out process. Not long ago, this was one of the best boutique hotels in Puntarenas. The place is beautiful, the staff seems they don’t care their job. The restaurant is expensive and they are not willing to make small changes in the menu even if the price is 4x what you will pay on average in any other place. Enjoy the view, don’t expect a good treatment from their staff.

Great place to stay

Beautiful setting and spectacular view from our room. The pool is beautiful! The beach is nice, but access to the water is a bit challenging. The service in the restaurant is a bit slow, but not a huge deal, considering the view. All of the food was excellent, as were the cocktails
