Staff was incredibly friendly and the room amd bed were clean and comfy. Breakfast choices were good and the quality was excellent. I ran-facing room was recently remodeled and the promised personal jacuzzi tub was not working. This was the only real miss. The bathroom is open concept so make sure your partner is comfy with you in all aspects.

Perfect for a honeymoon!

We had a wonderful time during our stay here - it was a great place for our honeymoon and we would highly recommend it to anyone else looking for a romantic spot with some privacy and also accessible to all that Puerto Viejo has to offer. The complimentary breakfast provided went above and beyond expectations. Extra shout out to all of the employees who were very helpful and provided great service throughout our stay :)

If you want amazing hospitality and relaxing vibes this the place. The staff made it all perfect. We stayed for 4 nights and left completely relaxed. Don’t forget to visit the sister property they have a very nice pool. The only observation is the dining menu is always the same and very seafood forward. However they are great restaurants nearby.
