10/10 Excellent
"My favourite stay in Costa Rica! The room was very modern, spacious, and had all the amenities you need. Loved the pool as it was very big, and there were many animals that you could spot around the property playing around! The breakfast at the restaurant was also very delicious, and the staff were super friendly! Room was very clean and loved that you could use a code to enter."
