"The hotel is showing its age. They keep it clean and the staff is as warm and welcoming as always. We had to upgrade to a condo at the tower and it is not as well maintained as the hotel. The quality of the service at the restaurant is good and relatively fast. The cuisine is simple but delicious. "

"Staff was very helpful and welcoming. Enclosed parking was good. Room was missing a place to hang towels and had only one garbage can. "

"The elevator was broken, the air conditioning wasn't working properly, and the guest in the other room was drunk and shouting."

"It is such a lovely and beautiful place , the beds are supportive and comfortable, the ocean views are fantastic! "

"The room and facilities were clean, my only complaint would be the area itself, out of control of the hotel. There was someone sleeping on the sidewalk in front of the hotel when we arrived and there really isn’t much to offer in the area. We only stopped for the night to catch the ferry the next day and thought that there would be more to see. "

"Gorgeous pool area. The rooms super cleans and well designed. Loved the ambiance music early morning. The staff was great and the food delicious. I will definitely come back. "

"Wonderful lodge! Liked it so much we rearranged our itinerary to come back for another night. Super quiet & scenic. Really enjoyed the pool, deck, restaurant, and seeing birds, monkeys and iguanas. Arrived too late for pizza the first night, but stayed to have it for lunch and it truly was delicious. However, learned later that Costa Rica’s ban on feeding wildlife extends to private property and bird feeders, so it would better not to feed the birds at all, or at least farther from the deck so macaws don’t swoop in for human breakfast food.

"The headline doesn't lie--it's definitely a million-dollar view! Whatever the time of day, looking out towards the ocean was spectacular. The sunsets were incredible, and the waves were spectacular to watch. It provided the peace and relaxation we were hoping for! A couple of pointers for first-timers to the property:1. In order to have such a beautiful view in an unpopulated area, the location is remote. Make sure to do as much shopping for food, etc., as you can while on your way out. It takes too much time away from the trip if you don't, because traffic moves SLOWLY. 2. Hoyt is very responsive. Don't hesitate to reach out to him if there are any issues.3. Don't bother bringing too many clothes. You'll wear swimsuits most of the time.4. If you like ice cream, get your hands on some ChaRo brand ice cream (it's a Costa Rican brand) as soon as you can. We didn't discover it until late into the trip and we were sorry we didn't have more days to enjoy it. "

"It's a nice place to watch sunset. The staff is very friendly and nice. The pool is nice. You can walk on the beach but the water didn't feel clean for swimming "
