We loved staying here! The view to the beach was so beautiful and so easy to get to. The resort itself offered all the things. Main dining room was great and the staff was soooo nice! My husband hurt his foot pretty bad in the ocean and the staff let us borrow the crutches they had and told us where a pharmacy to get other supplies we needed. The only hard part was staying on the ocean front view room at night - the ocean was sooo loud and would wake us up every night due to the big waves crashing. We even use white noise and still got woken up. Other then that we loved our stay and would stay there again!!

Beautiful location by the ocean, peaceful and fun vibe. The food was excellent as was the service. The staff were so friendly. We rented bicycles, kids had access to boogie boards, beach chairs (upon request), local charm and flavor with the cuisine and the ppl. The ocean and surrounding area (marina/walkable) were charming. The excursion to the rainforest remarkable. GREAT vaca!!

I was very disappointed with this hotel. It was loud, felt low-quality, and not what I expected from the reviews. The beach was underwhelming, and the staff seemed inexperienced and indifferent. Maybe my expectations were too high since I’m used to better treatment at hotels. For a lower budget, and for people who enjoy a lively, crowded atmosphere, it might not be that bad—but it just wasn’t for me.

Nice beach/ pool, but way overrated for the price. Dont go for the all inclusive food/drinks. We went a la carte and only spent have that. Not at all what I expected Costa Rica to be like. The nearest tour to the jungle, volcano is a 6 hours. The Jimmy Buffet theme is not really there. Name only, but lacked the vibe. Disappointed.

This is not an all inclusive. It is at best a food and drink package with very limited selection. CHEAP BEER AND BELOW BOTTOM SHELF ALCOHOL. Very limited food selections. Room service not included. RACCOONS SWIMMING IN POOL AT NIGHT. Felt like a motel more than a Margaritaville. Beach which is not part of property is beautiful though.

When you go on a vacation you want it to be more than a place you could visit close to home. Overall stay was just ok. For instance. Paying all inclusive. We had 4 people in a room we got 1 wash cloth everyday an 2 waters. Had problems getting service the pool bar a the 5 a clock somewhere eating area. I seen a drink get spilled by the pool early one day an was still there when we went out for dinner. I asked on one occasion to speak to a manager an said the would see if one was available. Waiting for a few told the over mind a they took my room number. I was never contacted one the issue. I don’t want to say this is a bad place just needs better management. I myself will probably not come back to this area. Not a lot to due. Excursions are 2 to 2.5 hours one way. Most roads are very rough for travel to. Airport is small. No problem getting a ride to hotel. We was told to be back at airport 3 hours early. Good thing. Short line check in. Long line through security. 2.5 hours from check in to plane. My rating on my trip all together 6 out of 10.
