We had minor issues with AC being always on, and the thermostats not kicking in. There was also a clog in the AC unit and cause leaking from the ceiling. The road to the resort needs work. There is a 10 minute stretch that’s really nerve wracking if you are coming in for the first time when it’s dark, and you worry about the damage to the vehicle. Other than that, it’s a great place and does deserve all the 5-stars.

I wouldn't go back here. If you're already in the area and looking for a place to stay for a couple nights it's probably worth it, but we did our honeymoon here for 8 nights and I wouldn't recommend staying here for that long. Pros: - The pool and property grounds are pretty awesome - Most of the staff are really nice and friendly - All of the food, although limited (see Cons section), was quite good, everything tasted great Cons: - We did the "All Inclusive" option, don't do this. There's so few restaurants and one of them isn't even included in the All Inclusive package, on top of that there are menu items/drinks that aren't included too. It was also confusing what was and wasn't included, kept getting different answers from the staff, so I was nervous that I was going to get a huge bill by the end of the trip. - The pool was quite warm for a few of the days we were there (early August), makes sense for how hot the weather was when we were there, but it wasn't very refreshing when you're looking for an escape from the heat - I see a lot of people praising the cleanliness in other reviews, but we had gross dark smudges around the bathroom and stains on sheets and the chair in the room. Nothing too crazy, but was a bit gross. - If you're looking for a nice beach, don't go here. It's very rocky, was quite choppy when we were there, and the sand isn't anything to write home about (though there are shells and things to see if that's what you're into)

The property is beautiful, the staff is fantastic, and the food is delicious. The room had a lovely view of the garden from the balcony and my children absolutely loved the pool. One downside: It is very secluded so it is a long drive to go one excursions.

I liked that the property had friendly staff and the grounds were well maintained as well as the room. It was more remote which hindered us from leaving the property except for an excursion. It was posted the beach had strong currents and swimming was ill advised which was disappointing. Also no Costa Rican food options for dinner restaurants on the property and there were limited options close to the resort. My other issue was we purchased “all inclusive “ and many times we were served drinks that were not covered but told after the fact which was irritating. Sparkling water was not included- odd. Overall it was ok, the resort shows wear. If you are looking to get out on your own and go to town- this is not the resort for you.

This property was perfect for our family! The pool was great, restaurant options were delicious, and the beach was beautiful and convenient. We watched beautiful sunsets and had a very relaxing time. There were activities available throughout the day like mixology classes, cooking classes, yoga, bike rides, etc. The staff were so friendly and helpful! We would definitely stay here again!

Service was awful. Room service was 2 hours multiple times. When leaving our rental car had a dead battery. We asked concierge for a taxi. Said there were no taxi to airport. Asked for shuttle. Said no shuttle. Asked how I could get to the airport and he said he didn’t know. There were many more failures along the way as well.

Beautiful property and amazing amenities. Truly a luxury experience that matches the price tag. It was great to stay here for 2 nights and relax. The beach and pool were fantastic, as was all the food we tried. Their restaurants are phenomenal. However, we only did 2 nights because there isn’t much else to do. A great little reprieve from the adventures of Costa Rica.

Staff were AMAZING such lovely people I truly cannot express that enough. However, location a little inconvenient as there is a required dirt path that you need to take to leave and come in. The path is so raggedy and bumpy it’s almost painful. Other than that this resort is amazing

Beautiful property, huge pool, variety of restaurants. Slightly isolated from any towns (half hour drive to Tamarindo and they have a shuttle). Walked to a nice beach restaurant, Lola’s. Could advertise that the spa has a sauna, steam room and small pool. Spa prices were high for Central America but service was good. Really enjoyed the Tamarine Restaurant. Room was very comfortable with a large bathtub. Pool is huge. Nice property, about an hour and a half from Liberia airport. Found a less expensive van to and from Liberia airport than what the Marriott offered.
