Nice resort. Can tell it’s been around awhile but still clean and would stay here again. Food is good not great but fine for the 3 days we were there. Staff were friendly and helpful. Not to pricey for an all inclusive.

Most everything was up to par; the facility is beautiful, rooms were clean and well-appointed, immediate access to the beach, bar service was quick and friendly, a nice pool area and amenities, the usual entertainment. However, the food from the main kitchen was just average. Fresh fruit and veggies, the side stations for eggs (am) and pastas, and the dessert bar; all excellent. But sorry to say that some of the main dishes from the kitchen were just ok.

The rooms were clean, staff hard working and genuinely wanted to make us happy. We decided to upgrade to an ocean front room and were charged $35 US a night for this. Not sure it was worth this cost.Special thanks to Claudio, Jean Paul, Carlos and all of the entertainment staff. The evening shows were energetic, very well choreographed with alot of talent. Food was good, we enjoyed the Japanese restaurant very much. So many wonderful restaurants in Tamarindo its worth paying for a few good meals out (Antichi Sapori, Eanas, Dragonfly and Fish and Cheeses are some of our faves!). Spent hours watching the surfers on the beach...so impressive. With the surf, the beach is not great for swimming but morning walks are wonderful. And the pool is great.

Consistent hot water seems to be problematic. Changed rooms because of lack of hot water and the other room wasn’t much better. Hard to believe that a resort cannot provide hot water. Even a one star local meets this expectation

Reported the AC not working properly, and no one fixed it. No offer to be moved to another room. Cleaning of room did not include anthing but new towels, when they remembered, and making the bed. Even with a tip, service no better. Pool bar snack food was horrible, dried out and cold.

Property was extremely outdated and our room was very inconvenient due to having to climb stairs to get from the entry of room to the actual room! The food was mediocre at best, low quality meats and selections. Check out process was a pain. The only pro, was the free premium dining options that they give you every 3 days.

This property was a disappointment. The room smelled like mold, the water would not get hot in the shower, the toilet would not flush completely, and anything that deviated from what they considered the norm, was not acceptable. The cleaning person went through my daughter's luggage and repacked, and puts things in it. We had trouble getting extra towels only upon request. And the policy of having a towel card where you have to pay $35 if you don't have it is ridiculous.
