I only stayed one night, and wasn’t able to enjoy the trails, but this place is gorgeous and the staff went above and beyond in every way. Also, the rooms are affordable snd very spacious! The room I had would have been great for a family of 4. This would be a great way to enjoy Costa Rican trails without even leaving the hotel grounds. I did also get a massage and it was fantastic.

I was so excited to stay here and end the trip on a high note. Not the case, room was not good, terrible bed and pillows, no mattress cover and no air conditioning. The room was directly beside the pool so you could hear everything including the room right beside us. We could hear everyone word and the children. The food was ok dinner not good as I found chicken bones in my nachos Yike and I struggled to eat my dinner after that. We asked to move seats at the beginning of dinner as there were so many ants and when I mean so many there was a net down below and I was told no they won’t hurt you. And when we went to bed all we heard was dogs barking and fighting all night and never slept. On top of the plane taking off, the planes may have been the easiest part of the stay. I highly recommend staying away from this hotel. Waterfall was pretty but the hike was tough so next time I’m staying at Hilton or Marriott. That way the standards are controlled better. Breaks my heart we really wanted to stay locally and enjoy our last day. Makes me super sad. A waste of money as it was extremely expensive and not enjoyable experience. Never again

Words will never be enough to express how this visit from check in to check was just absolutely extraordinary. From the views, to the food, amazing landscape. The staff make you feel like part of the family in the most beautiful way. It becomes part of of you. The spa staff and the services offered go above and beyond. I was lucky enough to get booked with Deimy for my first massage our first day on property. She is absolutely brilliant the most talented massage therapist I have ever had the opportunity to work on me. She went out of her way to stay late for me on one evening. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND REQUESTING HER!!!! Crystal, Mario, Betsy & Erica all the staff were friendly and went out of there way to do anything to help!!! I DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE!!! We will definitely be back!!!

We loved how intimate our experience was. The resort is very clean and relaxing. The rooms have amazing views and the restaurant food is delicious! I would say this is more of an adults resort as there weren't many kids when we went. Some things to note when staying here include there are no TVs nor AC in the rooms. With the windows and doors open and fan on, the room stayed pretty cool and the beds were comfortable for sleeping.
