We went for our 10 year wedding anniversary. First time to Costa Rica. Could not have had a better experience. The campus was spotless and verdant. The staff were unfailingly helpful and accommodating. The concierge staff were excellent and thoughtful. The food was delicious. And the views were stunning. 10/10 recommend.

Beautiful resort and beach. The restaurant food for dinner had too many odd flavors placed together giving the entrees a terrible taste and increased richness. Very expensive food, not many options as well. The staff were amazing and very accommodating.
