I will never stay at another American chain hotel in Costa Rica. The boutique hotels are so much better.

Liked:The pools were amazing. The rooms were clean and spacious.

Disliked:The food was horrible! The hotel is away from everything, and it’s impossible to get a taxi.

Beautiful

Liked:Excellent facilities and beautiful setting. Lovely room and really enjoyed the little indoor/outdoor area we had. We had some fun evenings at the bar too.

Disliked:Not enough shade for the sun loungers especially as one side of the pool wanted to charge extra for the shady beds. This was really intermittent so the system was not clear at all.

Nice but expensive with so-so service and food. I'd probably look into the Andaz for next time.

Liked:The location was scenic and beautiful on the bay. The breakfast buffet was very good. The lunch at the Tiki restaurant was also solid. Dinner at Mokoko was not great and also over priced. The rooms were nice except it didn't make a ton of sense to have the sitting room unairconditioned given the extreme heat midday. It reduced the overall size of the usable room space. The coffee tasting was super fun and informative. We loved that. The staff was good not great. We came here after the Springs in Arenal, and there the staff went out of their way to give so much hospitality. Checking in outside is a little rough mid-day with the extreme heat. The resort fees are quite high. The gym was so-so. The view wasn't good, and the equipment was lacking. It is odd that the adults only pool is the central pool. It was constantly dirty with leaves, though I do think they tried to clean it. The sunscreen and bugspray for guests to use is such a nice touch, but it was often out and not replenished. Service at the restaurants (esp Mokoko) was slow at times).
