"Not as described.The photos appear to be decades old, and the property was far below expectations. We arrived at 3am to a filthy home—blood-stained bedding, cobwebs, and greasy dishware. I had to clean for two days before guests arrived.Most amenities didn’t work, and I was told to pay extra for cleaning. Only two duvets were replaced when all needed it. Dishes smelled like fish, there were dirty napkins under the sink despite chef service, and multiple people had access codes the owner wouldn’t change. The pool didn’t work and wasn’t serviced while we were there.Beach access requires a car or golf cart; the “walkable” beach path is steep and unsafe.Costa Rica & Playa Blanca beach are beautiful, and the locals are wonderful. This experience was deeply disappointing—I would have considered returning but now I’m unsure. This property could be 5-star with proper care, but it was not presented that way. It was an Alice in Wonderland home- complete with the Cheshire Cat grin of a moon on arrival and beautiful sunsets. Kaly-Carlos- was my angel! I will be forever grateful for his help and guidance "

"Considering the price, a very good hotel with good service"

"Pool was very enjoyable "

"This is a very strange property. There are a lot of hotels, private condominiums sharing the same facilities but having separate gated access. The common grounds, however, aren’t being looked after so well. The Selvamar section we stayed in was okay, but a bit tired now. Room was much smaller than anywhere else we stayed in Costa Rica, but it was comfortable. Breakfast was decent, but the restaurant by the main pool where we had a dinner wasn’t the best and not worth the money they charge. Two pools are kids friendly and they are of pretty decent size, but not very deep. Some other activities, like mini golf, are charged separately. There is a new high-rise apartment building buying built right by the main pool area & beach, which will look awful. I wouldn’t stay here again, because it doesn’t provide the Costa Rica experience I like, it’s more like something taken out of Benidorm, but I do understand why some might be very keen on it."
