This is a nice hotel in the middle of almost nowhere, which isn t necessarily a bad thing.

We visited during a bit of the off season. It was rainy in the afternoons but sunny in the mornings.

The property is very nice, but service is somewhat limited for a JW. if you want to float in a pool with an ocean view and a bar they have that nailed.

The rooms are nice You will want Ocean View or Ocean Front here for sure.

The staff are very friendly (for the most part). We have enjoyed polite and engaging employees at this hotel with one exception.

The breakfast buffet is poor. If you want any meat, hash browns, pancakes, or waffles you have to order those separately. The do include omelettes.

This is our first trip to Costa Rica but it won t be our last. It's a fun place to have a little adventure. Friendly people and definite Central America feel.

The beach at the hotel is a nice walking beach. No swimming here. You ll need to go about 1/2 hour away for that but Tamarindo is nice.
