Gorgeous property. Comfortable suite. Lovely and helpful staff. Totally ensconced in flora and fauna. The shuttle to town was helpful when walking was not ideal. Special thanks to Fernanda and Stuart for their help with changing a reservation. They went above and beyond.

A 5 * hotel located close to Manual Antonio national park. It has open water views, a number of pools, and most special of all it's own forest trail. We saw more animals on that trail and around the hotel, then on a guided trip through the national park. It has several options for dining and nice breakfast buffet.

I liked how it was a big place, but was also private in its own way. There were multiple pools, and it felt like we were in our own little neck of the woods. The staff was amazing!! Everyone was so friendly, and the food was outstanding. Loved everything about it.
