7.2/10 Good! (1,003 reviews)
We had a room in the four hundred series and it provided us with a spectacular view of Hermosa Bay. I am sure many of the units have a great view. It's an older resort but clean. The staff are kind. The food doesn't have a huge variety but they switch up items every day and it's wholesome and well prepared. There were about four pools and the beach was about a four minute walk. There is a constant shuttle to take you around. It doesn't have a lot of amenities compared to other big new places but for us it was perfect. The location is nice for exploring Costa Rica. Some nice restaurants within walking distance of you want a break from the all inclusive. The unit had a full kitchen, big sitting area, nice beds. Lots of birds, some monkeys, iguana etc. If you get upset that one type of wine isn't available for a day its not for you but if you go with the flow you likely will be very happy here

My wife and I visited for her birthday and Valentine’s, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect trip. How unbelievably stunning the views are from both the property and the rooms. The location is maintained impeccably, and every detail feels thoughtfully cared for. The service is truly top-notch—special shoutout to Kenneth, Cesar, Giovanni, and Glenn, who went above and beyond and helped make our stay feel extra special. We would absolutely love to return, and I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for an exceptional experience.
