10/10 Exceptional

Hotel is fabulous, staff are amazing. They consistently went above and beyond to ensure our stay was wonderful. Magnificent views from every vantage point. Lots of wildlife on the grounds. Monkeys, sloughs, iguanas, etc. We did the night walk with Maria. She was great and pointed out so many amazing species of tree frogs, sloughs moving, birds,etc. Also booked the waterfall hike (spectacular) and whale watching (saw at least 8-10 whales in addition to leatherback sea turtle, dolphins playing, and many species of birds). Highly recommend!!

Did not like feeling like I needed to tip all the time to golf cart drivers, maids, waiters, bar keeps and then tip was added on my bill at the end. Better if they turned down tips

8/10 Very Good

Mixed feelings. Beautiful location and the rooms. Very good food BUT all the waiters were so unhappy serving people and it took forever to get the order so we switched completely to the room service that we did not have to interact with them. The spa was also a big disappointment. Appointment at 10:00 and at 9:55 the spa still locked up with the explanation that they open at 10:00! So in the second they open you hop on the table. No concept of welcome drink or relaxation before the treatment. Therefore the golf cart drivers were so happy, friendly and accommodating. Really great guys reading your mind. The room keeping was great and the room itself too. So it was a weird mixture. Considering that we paid $1,200 per night there should be no mixture of bad and great service. It should be all great. We would not return there although the location at the private beach was great.

I loved this resort! Great location, great service, breakfast was excellent. The beach was beautiful as were pools/restaurants. I saw sooo many animals. Hotel staff was so happy and so helpful. I felt completely pampered and treated like royalty. I couldn't recommend enough and I have stayed at many hotels/many countries. I loved the mini-bar which was free and well stocked with snacks, beer and bottles of wine! Front desk scheduled all my transportation, tours - they definitely take care of you. If you are staying in CR, definitely stay here!!
