    This was a very nice place. Lots of monkeys and birds there n the morning, it was actually nice to wake up to. Breakfast was ok. The cabins are very comfortable.

    A lot of bugs and insects, my kids and wife were uncomfortable with some insects inside our room

    Great location near the Manzanillo park and close to the beach, great spot a bit far from Puerto Viejo. Good pool and bar, the massage from the spa was amazing

    Music around the pool was a bit loud for my taste

    Set in a jungle setting approximately 1.5 km from the beach, it has a real ‘away from everything’ feel to it. A lovely pool, great jungle walks, comfortable accommodation, good breakfasts, very good for families and apart from the howling monkeys, very quiet!! Manzanillo village is the ‘end of the road’ quiet but charming

    WOW!!! First timers in CR so we didn't know what to expect. We were very happy with our choice. The breakfasts were terrific with cereal, yogurt, eggs (scrambled or fried), sausage, pancakes etc were great. The resort is extremely well maintained and clean. The pool and kids pool were very clean and probably 89°F during our stay (end of February). The Tiki Bar is staffed with great guys who are happy to help. They offer adult beverages and kids drinks along with some really great lunch and dinner options. The only complaint is around the policy around the drinks at the pool. I completely understand not having any glass around the pool but there is nothing better than relaxing in the pool with your drink on the edge of the pool especially when the Tiki Bar provides the drinks in glass. Might suggest a review? The accommodations were also very nice with plenty of hot water. The bed was comfortable and the room was made up daily with fresh towels for the bathroom and the pool. The location was also an easy walk to Playa Manzanillo. Are there resorts that you could pay double or triple the price? I am sure there are but why???? This resort satisfied all our needs and when looking at the hit to the bank account it was a fantastic choice. Don't be fooled by others, you will NOT be disappointed here

    The dining room for breakfast.

    Breakfast was ok, but served in a canteen type of dining room. The pool and bar area was lovely and food served there was good. The area for walking the trails was really pleasant. The staff were great, especially Roger who welcomed us so warmly and gave us an early check in.

    Some of the jalousie windows in the room did not work / had panels missing. The swimming pool was, understandably, very popular with children, which might put some people off. It was a 15 minute walk to the beach (although you would likely see monkeys, birds and butterflies on the way).

    The resort is surrounded by jungle and there was some great wildlife to see / hear. My standard room had a kitchen area with a fridge, good AC as well as a ceiling fan, and plenty of towels. The people on reception were super friendly and helpful.

    It was not an unit for 6 persons. The sofa bed in the living room is a really small and thin mattress. 4 persons is comfortable, more than that it's really not nice.
