The grounds are beautiful! Upon arriving we were greeted with a yummy refreshing drink. Had enough space to hold our large group. Food at the complimentary breakfast buffet was very good!

The property is kids friendly. I think they could of had better choices for breakfast. We order off the menu and there were 6 items in it to choose from. The hotel has shuttle to the beach which is very convenient. We also used the complementary beach chairs and the bathroom at the beach.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
The staff was friendly. The room was as described. However, there were ants in our room. They did address the first report, but then there were still multiple ants in the room. The lighting was poor in the room and bathroom. The restaurant service was friendly. However slow and they did not check on you during the meal. It was very expensive and overpriced, but food tasted good. The breakfast buffet at first was ok, but half way through the week they switched to a small menu to pick from and it did not taste good, not enough choices. Coffee way too strong. However the garden in-between the main building and outer building was nice and we could see lots of birds and flowers. Having the pool blocked by the trees of the garden was nice although they could have kept up with the cleaning a bit more frequent as there was a lot of foliage floating around and also at the bottom of the pool as well as bugs.

Our first time at this resort and we are very happy that we choose. The staff and manager (Josephine) was very friendly. Many thanks to Eddie and Henry the servers and chef who cooked our "catch of the day" for three days on the row. Chelsea,the receptionist helped us booking another 2 days and we didn't have to move the another room. The pools were very clean and the breakfast was delicious. We can't wait to return to this piece of paradise and we highly recommend it.

Nice hotel but overpriced for what is on offer especially if you are places in the older rooms above the reception area. Our room was very loud as it was above the restaurant and the screen door feel off. Staff were awesome and moved us to a different room for the second night. Great location and nice grounds but there are nicer options in the area around Playa Carrillo for a similar price.
