Beautiful, lacks in customer service

This place is picturesque and has potential, but the staff was inattentive and seemed bothered when we asked for anything. We had to search the grounds for someone to come to check us in. The bartender wasn’t around for at least the first 20 mins of happy hour. We were told a lot of things were not done properly (room cleaning) or not working (hot tub) b/c of electricity issues (to be fair, it is rainy season and there were thunderstorms each night and it sounds like they were working off generator power). The restaurant was good, but wasn’t advertised as plant-based when booking. Our waitress the first night was great, but the second night we got someone else who wasn’t very present. Free Friday AM yoga was a nice touch. If they could staff this place with workers who were actually present, more inviting, and willing to accommodate, it would be off the charts in reviews!

Literally off the beaten path…

The drive off the main road had us rethinking our resort selection. The road was harrowing and a 4x4 would have been a good idea. However once we were there, it was truly paradise. Gorgeous property and grounds, clean, comfortable and quiet, friendly staff, and delicious vegan food. It is truly a small oasis, with fabulous views of the whale’s tail and beautiful sunsets.

Absolutely loved the spot, the food And commodities. Beware if you get a shared bathroom as you have to go through the restaurant to get to it. Not the most convenient in the morning. Also they use an electronic bracelet linked to your credit card. Nice but my company blocked my card and I had to call to have them unblock my cell phone which cost me 25$. The site is fabulous and would return without question but with my own private bathroom. The vegan food is divine and the staff super friendly.

Magischer Platz im Dschungel mit Stil

Ein unglaublich schönes Hotel mit tollen Mitarbeitern und atemberaubender Lage. Der Poolbereich ist ein Traum, super bequeme Liegemöbel mit Blick auf den Walflossenstrand. Das schönste Yogadeck ever und die kostenlose Yogastunde mit Emily war ein echter Genuss. Sehr leckeres, ausschließlich veganes Essen. Die Pancakes sind der Hit, wie auch der vegan Burger. Besonders Kellnerin Valerie ist ein echter Schatz. Abends Lagerfeuer, wenn es nicht regnet. Was uns nicht gefallen hat: Getränkepreise zB. für 1 Glas (Craft) Bier 9$, nationales Bier gab es leider nicht. Achtung: Irreführend war die Beschreibung: eigenes Badezimmer. Das Standardzimmer hat KEIN Bad. 2 Toiletten und 2 Duschen teilt man sich mit 4 anderen Zimmern, um dorthin zu gelangen sind einige Treppen zu überwinden. Wer damit ein Problem hat, sollte eine höhere Kategorie buchen. 4x4 auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert. Fazit : Die schönste Unterkunft während unserer gesamten Costa Rica Reise
