Amazing!
Location is amazing, right across the street from beautiful Playa Flamingo Beach. All of the staff we encountered were friendly and welcoming. The cleaning and landscaping staff did an excellent job of keeping the hotel clean and beautiful. Breakfast was Del and there were many options to choose from. Tips: a lot of items are very expensive in Costa Rica so bring a refillable water bottle, sunscreen, toiletries, etc. to avoid additional costs. We appreciated that the hotel had multiple water stations to fill up our water bottles.

This was a good all inclusive property. There were lots of excursions to choose from and they all picked up from the hotel. They even had a sunset tour in the boat owned by the property. Food was good - the restaurant that required reservations was the best. Overall very pleased!

I enjoyed the staff. They were amazing. From the front desk to any around the pool and any whenever you requested anything. I paid for all inclusive. It was easier to do that than to do a lot of walking with my husband because he has bad knees. The breakfasts are tolerable, the saving grace were the made to order omelets. The food gets cold sitting in the trays and there aren't any microwaves to warm them up. The lunch was FANTASTIC. The reservation only Italian place left a whole lot to be desired. I guess i was expecting more upscale Italian and less dollar store olive garden. I felt like there could have been more entertainment than there was, i mean, IT'S MARGARITAVILLE. There should have been a dj during the evenings or something to that affect. We had one guy on Thursday that dang at the sports bar. He did a great job. I guess the did and the lack of things to do AT the resort are my complaints. Everything else was perfect

The resort was nice.... rooms and amenities are out dated for what they charge.

The hotel is a little OUTDATED. But very clean. If you are interested in the food for All inclusive. This is NOT ur spot. I KNEW from the reviews so opted not to get it. So happy I didnt as the food options are slim and EXPENSIVE. If you’re a drinker then go for it but u may still need to go out for food. There are plenty of places near to walk and get food. Not much to do here at the hotel as the activities are slim and the music at the pool is so low it’s like someone is playing music from a iPad.. there will be little to nothing to do here at night. If you want a nice family vacation with the kids this is for u, but single wanting to chill at night not ur spot. By the way there was never ever Hot water in our room, I called for maintenance one day and they came and he turned the water in and said no. So don’t expect hot water… again everyone was nice and friendly and the place is clean and safe.. the pics are online are heavily filtered. Lastly the advertise 3 pools… I asked because I never seen 3 pools and I was told the 3rd pool is for the presidential suite

Nice place but getting out dated and needing repairs. Staff was not always cordial. VERY limited menu options and bars did not open until late morning and beverages were never top shelf. You paid extra for that. Italian restaurant was good but you had to make reservations each morning by 7:00 or you didn’t get in.
