Thanks for a good memory/experience!

Love this place! Apartment was a bit dated but clean and large! Great bath/shower. (But, I'd rather have it not updated and the price cheaper, so that was a win for us). The property was very nice, clean and beautifully appointed/laid out. The gym, pool and breakfast were excellent. Hot tub was hot, pool was comfy cool...Yay!! Customer service easy and clear and we felt very safe with the gated entrance. Area was nice. Would like to return again!!

10/10 Exceptional

Check-in was very easy and the front desk associate, Larry, was so welcoming and helpful. The heated pool and hot tub were fantastic. The continental breakfast had a good variety and included yogurt, fruit, pastries, eggs and gallo pinto among other items. They also offered almond milk for coffee! Safe, central location for our activities with secure parking. We really enjoyed our stay and found it to be a great value.

10/10 Exceptional

Property was clean & comfortable,we had a 3BR/2BA unit. Both pools & hot tub areas were also very well maintained. Traveled with a teenager & senior in our party, felt very safe at all times. Reception staff was very helpful & recommended restaurants, stores, attractions & tours during our stay. Housekeeping was excellent! Complementary breakfast was good but got a little boring after 10 days but it was way better than a continental at the chain places. Highly recommend to anyone planning to travel to Costa Rica
