Reviews and Ratings
I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful rooms and fantastic service at this hotel. The location had its charms, but there were some drawbacks to consider. The dining options were a mix of great and not so great experiences. Overall, the facilities added to the positive aspects of my stay.
The hotel exceeded all our expectations, offering comfortable rooms just over the road from the hotel. The service was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring a friendly and helpful stay. The location, though a bit far for night walks to Puerto Viejo, felt like a heavenly retreat with beautiful surroundings. The dining experience was delightful, especially with the rotating fourth option and fresh fruit. Overall, a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy nature.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms felt very luxurious, especially our room with a huge balcony, beautiful lighting, big lounge chairs, and a hammock. The location was perfect, just outside of town and close enough for a beach walk into the city. The service was top-notch, with staff who were incredibly professional and kind. The dining experience was delightful, making every morning special. Although a bit far from the city, the open-air surroundings allowed us to immerse ourselves in the beauty of nature.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was nice, although a bit secluded for some, but it offered a heavenly retreat. The rooms, despite being a little small and close to reception, were comfortable. The service was exceptional with really friendly staff. The dining options were diverse and delightful, perfect for starting the day. However, the value for money might not suit everyone.
The hotel offers stunning views of the sea from the balcony, but the rooms are a bit small with limited space for luggage. The air conditioning could be improved, yet the unique Banana Azul spun adds a touch of charm to the room.
