Would definitely stay again. The staff were all great, there were many restaurants within a couple minute drive, and the beach was beautiful and quiet. Sand quality is not as good as some others, but there are dozens of beaches within 5-10 minutes or so. Rooms were spacious and as clean as you can really get on a tropical beach.

Nice rooms, we only missed a refrigerator, breakfast was okay. Not the most beautiful beach in Costa Rica and we were in the windy season. And it was very, very windy. Other beaches w/o wind you can reach by car in 10 minutes. Restaurants are also close by.

Property is quiet but remotely located. Facilities and food at the onsite restaurant both mediocre. Need a vehicle to go around.
