The resort was beautiful! I highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit Costa Rica. The amenities were spectacular! Located at an excellent location, a short drive to San Jose and in a lovely quiet town. Nearby restaurants have amazing food. The pool was magnificent, the staff were friendly and hospitable. Can’t wait to visit again and if I do I will definitely be staying there again!

Beautiful spot just outside of San Jose so we could feel like we were already on vacation after our plane landed late. The pool is beautiful, breakfast was great, staff was so helpful- ordered delivery food for us after most places were closed because we were so hungry after long travels. We went to the wildlife center across the street the next day after checking out, before heading on our way. It was really nice and a perfect way to start vacation.
