I recently spent a holiday in Costa Rica, staying at this hotel. While the country is undeniably stunning in terms of its natural beauty, I must admit that it presents some challenges for tourists. Firstly, prices in tourist areas are extremely high, comparable to those in Manhattan. Moreover, the sense of security in the country is not the best, to the point that many locals who can afford it drive around in armored vehicles. For this reason, if you're traveling to Costa Rica, you may feel compelled to stick to tourist areas. The infrastructure in Costa Rica is lacking, with poor quality roads and often heavy traffic. The hotel itself is reachable after a two-hour journey on rough roads from the capital's airport. The hotel offers a high level of security and quality of services, but at very steep prices. The adjacent beach has warm but consistently choppy water, with black sand that makes the water murky and muddy, limiting visibility. The climate is characterized by stifling heat and perennial humidity, which often forced me to spend a lot of time in the room with the air conditioning on full blast. Despite these negative aspects, the trip was still beautiful for those who, like me, love nature. The hotel is surrounded by fascinating wildlife, with birds, squirrels, and iguanas roaming freely. In conclusion, I recommend this hotel and Costa Rica in general to those who are willing to tolerate some inconveniences in exchange for a unique experience in contact with unspoiled and spectacular nature. However, it's good to be aware of the high prices and the country's criticalities before undertaking the journey.

The wait was a bit longer than expected at the restaurants. Games and books helped my kids. Super short walk to the marina. Lots of fun activities close to the resort and lots of help to arrange it. The zip lining and rain forest tour were worth it!

It was relaxed. The food was good and many different restaurant choices.

The resort didn't have any lounge chairs at the beach. The water is murky, and there are apparently crocodiles in the ocean, coming from the river inlets. The beach was not usable. Some of the staff can be a bit short and less than enthusiastic about their jobs. Others are very nice. For the price of the resort, there should be better staff training.

Overall a beautiful resort. You can see macaws flying overhead on a daily basis. The golf course has lots of wildlife as well. We saw many tropical birds, Iguanas and a Capuchin monkey.

Not a thing.

Beautiful location, wonderful amenities. Staff was very friendly and curteous, always helpful. Make sure to get Jonathan at the swim up bar - he'll take good care of you!

Dinner options were limited and not superb but adequate

Awesome breakfast and beautiful resort. Dinner options were limited and not superb but definitely not bad. Totally would recommend to a friend. Staff is incredible.

The ocean waves are minimal, so you need to visit a different beach if you’re looking to body surf, etc.

Great selection of restaurants serving excellent food. The staff is very friendly! Tons of great options for teens to stay busy. Excellent spot to charter a fishing trip. It was very clean and safe.

The food! Need better local options. The food is an American take and not flavored and just not enticing. We ate off the resort more times than not

Absolutely beautiful and well kept property. Lots of activities in a safe resort area. The marina is also next door and there are great shops.

The staff was very attentive; friendly; and was eager to make our experience as positive as possible. The on-site bars and restaurant were great for breakfast and lunch. The chef prepared our fresh catch as an amazing appetizer for our group...an excellent experience.

It is very expensive place to be. The restaurants are very expensive although the food is really good. The pool has several areas that need repair

The staff was very accommodating in the room was very clean and nice. Everything you could have needed was in there. Extra pillows, blow dryer, coffee snacks.

Beautiful everywhere you looked!

Some of the staff was curt. Experience at sushi bar was subpar. There was an exclusive party happening and guests who were not part of that party were neglected.

Our stay was during the low season which was perfect. There weren’t too many people so we were able to enjoy the amenities without waiting or being burdened by people. We enjoyed the pool and swim up bar. There was no wait at the restaurants the entire time we were there.

Breakfast was superb

Free use of resort facilities e.g bikes and tennis courts is limited to 30 minutes. Good course fees are excessively high if renting equipment. No ATM on site.

Well maintained. Spotlessly clean. Great staff. Surrounding scenery. Wildlife. Restaurant options. Good gym. Large, clean pool. Quiet, spacious room.

Branded. High food prices

The staff were great and as a Marriott it is a reliable standard but frankly this hotel could have been anywhere. It didn’t feel like Costa Rica but overall it was worth the stay
