We researched some hotels but ultimately chose this one for the one-week experience we wanted for our anniversary. From the start, our experience exceeded our expectations. |Starting with the staff, our driver Geraldo was warm and friendly and it was a joy to have his services for transport to and from our tours. Andres, the concierge/lobby manager is very accommodating and organize and knowledgeable our the hotel and tours. Andres and Alexa helped us make our stay and amazing experience possible <3. Jefferson, Josue, William, and Sofia were very friendly, warm, and personable--we will absolutely miss them and the relationships were formed with each of them. The cleaning staff were amazing considering all the sand and mud we tracked in from our tours. They even organized my toiletries on the sink <3. Loved that. It was the cleanest hotel I've stayed in a long time. We appreciate you all so much and we will be back!|The room was absolutely beautiful and the view is incredible. We stayed the in the Sunset Villa 12 and in the early evenings, you can't take your eye off of the sunsetting on the ocean and the sounds and sighting of local wildlife. You really cannot beat the location. You feel like you are in the Costa Rican jungle on top of the mountain with priceless views of the ocean.|The food at the hotel restaurant was always presented so beautifully and slightly different every time. You can tell they care very much about presentation. My favorite breakfast is the Typical Breakfast with the fresh juice blended every morning with different varieties of the fruits. It really starts off the day before the tour which start early in the morning but you can always order ahead to save time. The fish tacos and pork tenderloin is incredible for lunch. For dinner, we loved the mango tartare, the lamb, and the ribeye risotto. For dessert, we recommend the coconut flan and the blondie. |We used the Couple Package which for us if you stay a week, its worth it for unlimited drinks, a free massage which took place in our villa, and all of our meals. The lunch hours are extended to 4pm which gives you time to return from our tour and settle in to take full advantage of the meal package. To us, it was a great value and helped us not to worry about the cost of everything during our stay. |If you can swing it, try to use the hotel's taxi service, the roads can be very bumpy as you are driving up and down a mountain. It was worth it to use to pay for the taxi each way and we had the same sets of drivers each time. The drivers would communicate with tour guides on timing and transportation and always mentioned if they would be their to retrieve you after the tour or if another driver would be there. We always felt safe and taken care of. ||<3 Brandon & Stacia
