We loved this hotel. The staff was efficient and the room was clean. It is ideally situated in front of the beach. Two suggestions to improve this hotel 1) Add a fourth restaurant to diversify the food offering. 2) Add more shaded areas around the pool. We will recommend this hotel to our friends.

The resort was lovely! Staff couldn’t have been nicer. While technically across the street from the beach it’s really right there and super convenient. It’s a beautiful beach that wasn’t too crowded. We were glad we didn’t do all inclusive because the food was just ok and there were other great places within walking distance. Everything else was spectacular and we were glad we chose it!

My stay was great, now I truly understand the term ‘pura vida”; thank you to Priscilla and Jose, Felix , and the many other workers and staff(too many to recall all the names), from the staff at its 5 o’clock somewhere to the banana wind restaurant as well as the Italian restaurant Capriccios Pizza Bistro & Cafe and of course the swim up bar License to chill, it was amazing. So much I can say the front desk, housekeeping always accommodating and understanding; to make me and my family stay pleasant definitely a place to go!!
