Title: Not Worth the Price – Poor Service & Outdated Property I booked this hotel based on positive reviews, but my experience was the opposite. The all-inclusive package was extremely limited—same food daily, only one restaurant and one pool bar. The pool bar staff were horrendous. They blatantly ignored guests, including children, and only served those who tipped heavily or they favored. Others waited 20 minutes, often without acknowledgment. For a hotel where this is the only open food and drink option for long parts of the day, it was unacceptable and completely ruined the experience. Cheap bear and house liquor only were included. Housekeeping was inconsistent. We got one towel per person and had to track down staff for basic items like shampoo. Water was shut off nightly from 2–4 a.m., which is ridiculous. No pool or beachside service, and beach chairs had to be requested. The hotel is outdated. One pool, no hot tub, and the “a la carte” Italian restaurant offered little more than basic pasta. Excursions were limited and far away. While the beach was beautiful and sunsets were lovely, this property doesn’t reflect the charm of Costa Rica, nor is it worth the price. To Management: Please train your pool bar staff in hospitality. Their attitude was unacceptable. Also, I question the authenticity of the glowing reviews—my experience was nothing like them. I will not return nor can I recommend this hotel. Visit Costa Rica, but stay somewhere else.

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.
